Hi Henry,
  you should check config.log file for the error why -lncursesw was not found. Probably was found but the linking test failed for some reason. In general, you should provide config.log and config.status if you really want somebody to help you with this. Do not post them to the email list put use some web service like pastebin or similar to make them publicly available.
