Dear Sir :

    I see these messages in my email fairly often. I admire the endless
maintenance and work that it takes to support a critical library such as
ncurses. I am left with a question, something on my mind for some years
now, is there a page or document somewhere that explains how to build a
good result from these sources? I am going with a guess that a trivial
good ol fashioned "./configure --prefix=$SOMEPLACE" would get the job
done. However I am just not sure about that.
