ncurses 5.5 was released last fall,
so "recompiling" is not a good choice of words.
Other people installed ncurses 5.5 on Mac OS X.
ncurses 5.4 was released at the beginning of 2004.
Advising OP to not use ncurses on Mac OS X is like telling someone not
to use a program because Debian/stable has an older/less-capable version.
But I recall that you've done this before, so I'll have to disregard
similar comments from you in the future.
