Have a look:
checking for tgetent in -lncurses... (cached) no
checking for tgetent in -lHcurses... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... (cached) no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... (cached) no
checking for tgetent in -lterminfo... no

None of these libraries exist on your system - or configure can't find
them.

Install ncurses and you're set.  Otherwise check the config.log file
yourself why those can't be found.  

This is a configuration problem of your machine.
