checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... missing

That means you have no compiler installed. Look for the gcc RPMS.

That means that you don't have the ncurses
development libraries installed.

Open Mandreck package manager, search for
gcc, feed it matching CD, install.
