You are not the first to have problems with ncurses. As far as I can tell the problems usually appear because of multiple versions being installed. Why did you download ncurses instead of using the version that comes with OS X? You shouldn't have to specify "--with-tlib". Instead of building your own version it may be easier to just download the latest MacVim build [1] and put that in your /Applications folder. Then create an alias to "/Applications/MacVim.app/Contents/MacOS/Vim" and you can use it without the GUI.
