It's likely that your build is using the system's tic rather than the
in-tree copy of tic.  One of my logs shows this for example:

Running sh ./shlib tic to install /usr/local/ncurses/share/terminfo ...

If you're cross-compiling, the in-tree copy won't work, and older system
copies of tic won't work.  You can build/install ncurses to some non-system
location and use the --with-tic-path option to specify _that_ copy of tic
to work around this problem.

(all of this is in the 6.2 release announcment)
