There is an NMH package available in the standard Ubuntu
repositories, "sudo apt install nmh" should install it. I've used it
for years without issue.

Looking at the config.log, it appears that <curses.h> is
missing, that comes from the libncurses5-dev package (so, "sudo apt
install libncurses5-dev"). You could also try installing the build
dependencies for nmh, something like "sudo apt-get build-dep nmh".
Building nmh from source might also need to run ./autogen.sh
before ./configure, as well. I just tried this against the current git
repository on Ubuntu 18.04 and it worked fine for me.
