Just rerun the ./configure script -- it should detect the presence of the
required header file automatically. If all went well you'll see "yes" three
times:

$ sudo aptitude install ncurses-dev
[...]
$ ./configure > tmp.txt
[...]
$ grep ncurses tmp.txt
checking ncurses.h usability... yes
checking ncurses.h presence... yes
checking for ncurses.h... yes
