Recommendation is to avoid to build it yourself, as this leads to the
next issue, security vulnerability updates, as you will not get those
automatically, you need to keep your eyes open for those yourself and in
worst case you have to rebuild it multiple times in a short time.

Better to install nucrses as Jerry said from PECL, 'sudo pecl install
ncurses' or switch to a distribution which includes it as a package, as
it's safer as you other wise have to keep track of...
