The error message is pretty self-explanatory, I think: you should
install one of the libraries it mentions, i.e.

  libtinfo, libncurses, libterminfo, libcurses, or libtermcap

together with the corresponding header files (usually, the package
will be called LIBRARY-dev or LIBRARY-devel), and then reconfigure.
