Just a guess, but you might have to add "--with-ncurses=/usr" so that you
provide the basedir for the curses package.
Do a ./configure --help and it will list the options. I
believe --with-curses or --with-ncurses is one of them.
Also, I think there is supposed to be a libncurses.so and libtermcap.so
without a version number and its usually a symlink the the real file (with a
version number). You'll want to look at the libs you found to distinguish
which are symlinks, and when you find the latest version of the library
(like libncurses.so.5.2) you can symlink libncurses.so to it. Likewise with
the libtermcap.
