I just downloaded the Python-2.3.2 tarball
(http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.3.2/Python-2.3.2.tgz) onto my Mac
OSX 10.2.8 system.  When I did ./configure, I got:

checking ncurses.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: ncurses.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: ncurses.h: check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: ncurses.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
