I meant recompiling ncurses, to get version 5.5. But I wonder if Apple
modified the ncurses 5.4, because tic didn't behave like under Debian.
For instance, xterm-* were installed under the 78 subdirectory instead
of the x subdirectory.

I didn't advise not to use ncurses. I advised not to use the ncurses
that come with Mac OS X.
