Let me add two notes to that - BSD uses BSD curses, and Linux uses GNU
ncurses.  The configure script tries to find GNU curses, but will fall back
on BSD curses, if it does you might get a bunch of errors (mostly because
there isn't any color support in BSD curses last I checked).

Installing GNU curses is recommended, unless you're colorblind ;)

If you want it to run under BSD curses, try to compile and mail me the errors,
and I'll try to help ...
