No can do.  It is not my machine, but rather a machine on which I  
have a guest account.
I recognize that the libcurses distributed with this os is deficient.

I thought that setting the CURSES_LIBRARY was the method by which  
"CMake will use ncurses"

But, at least on this machine, ncurses has installed the header /usr/ 
local/include/ncurses.h rather than /usr/local/include/curses.h .
Does this mean that the ncurses installation is also "broken"?
Or should the CMake code have some "#if" to decide which header to  
include?
