It's likely that you don't have ncurses[w] library or its headers
installed. Once you have installed them, run configure again. When you
configure, the output at the very end prints out information about the
components that will be built. You should see a line:
Build console UI.............. : yes
which means configure found the required dependencies, and finch will be
built. If the line still says "no", then look at config.log file to see
why it's failing to find ncurses.
