There error indicates it can't find ncurses.h
configure:14223: xlc_r -c -qmaxmem=-1 -DSYSV -D_AIX -D_AIX71 -D_ALL_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -O -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/include/ncursesw conftest.c >&5
"conftest.c", line 311.10: 1506-296 (S) #include file <ncurses.h> not found.
Are you sure you don't need -I/usr/include/ncurses instead of -I/usr/include?
