How to get libtermcap and libncurses would depend on your exact unix
system.

On a debian linux, you'd do:

     sudo apt-get  install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev

termcap is the old terminal database. On modern linux, it's replaced by
terminfo.  A library to access that database is libtinfo5, it's a
dependency of ncurses, so it should be installed automatically, along
with the terminal database by the above command.

If you're on a different linux or a different unix, you will have to see
how to find and install the corresponding libraries with your package
manager, or in the worst case, download and compile them manually.

The upstreams are 
http://www.gnu.org/software/ncurses/
http://www.catb.org/esr/terminfo/

You should probably address first the error indicated by the message.

    ls -l /home/don/hg/clisp/.hg/hgrc

and check the owner, group and access rights.
I have pjb:pjb and 644, and my .hg/ directory is pjb:pjb and 755.

    $ cat .hg/hgrc
    [paths]
    default = http://hg.code.sf.net/p/clisp/clisp
