It actually does say what it needs. It needs ncurses-devel, which is the
name of a SuSE package.

Also, the configure script can usually take parameters where you tell it
to enable or disable specific funtionality. These parameters are written
like --with-stuff --without-stuff --enable-stuff --disable-stuff.

If you read the configure script, it usually has all the parameters
listed, or you can try running configure --help
