I would not worry about this.

At the end of the day the configure script bootstraps cmake.  It works 
like this:

1. build a minimal version of cmake
2. use that cmake to configure cmake
3. then you type make, ninja or what ever to get the build.


It would seem that what is happening with your build is that it is 
detecting curses, but badly.

You might want to play around with
   --init=FILE             load FILE as script to populate cache

You could put BUILD_CursesDialog set to off in that script to keep it 
from trying to build curses.   It would also be helpful if you could 
show more than just the build error.

"
The configure phase seems to work fine.. throws no errors"

What does it do?  Does it say something about curses?
