The problem seemed to be in the ncurses_life.imc file. At line 324, it
uses wattron but it either attron should be used, or STDSCR added to
the argument list. But, another problem. Under FreeBSD 5.4, I had to
edit ncurses.imc to comment out the whole libform section. I get this
error when it's uncommented.
Couldn't load 'libform': /usr/lib/libform.so: Undefined symbol "stdscr"
current instr.: '__ncurses_init' pc 2107 (library/ncurses.imc:535)

so I can't see diagnostics, but under freebsd I get this.
Running it inside gdb shows a bit more. But is not really helpful
otherwise.
Anyway I remember that I have seen a wrong function signature (or
using wrong arguments) somewhere inside the ncurses NCI code.
Please go through all the dlfunc ops and compare the signatures with
the man page(s). Then check the calls of the functions for
correctness.
