The autoconf scripts usually manage to find if the system's install
program works. But I believe it's fooled if you have a $INSTALL
variable in your environment. In the config.status file, you should
see a line something like
INSTALL="/usr/sbin/install {options}"
if you change it to
INSTALL="{your-path}/install-sh -c"
that is, {your-path} is the absolute path of the source-directory where
your ncurses build is located, and run
./config.status
followed by a make, that should fix it.
