Hi,
I've tried to compile rcompletion and perhaps have detected the reason for
failures, although I haven't succeeded yet.

It seems configure can't figure where to find these functions.

checking for tgetent... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
checking for tgetent in -ltinfo... no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... yes
checking which library has the termcap functions... using libcurses
-------------------8><--------------------
The unresolved function calls (and perhaps symbols of other types) may be
located at libcurses. At least in my system they are.

May be your configure needs some rewriting to include a check for the location
of unknown symbols like readline's configure does.
