The install program does not look for the ncurses lib (as i see it), it
looks for a souce file in /usr/include

With the above error message one can conclude that you dont have a file
called /usr/include/curses.h which is normaly installed by every distro.
The second error comes automaticly as the install script carries on after
its 'cc' line failed.

They are in /usr/lib on a standard Slackware-7.0 system so i presume thats
where they will reside on others as well.
They being;
/usr/lib/libpthread.a
/usr/lib/libpthread_p.a
/usr/lib/libpthread.so
The whole package installs perfectly here on my slackware-7.0 system.
