It looks as if the test for attributes fails because you have installed
ncurses like this:
        /usr/local/include/curses.h
        /usr/local/lib/libncurses.a

gcc finds /usr/local/include/curses.h before /usr/include/curses.h, and
does not see libncurses.a in this case as -lcurses.   I recommend that
people use the configure option --disable-overwrite, which gives this:
        /usr/local/include/ncurses/curses.h
        /usr/local/lib/libncurses.h

so gcc does not accidentally pick up curses.h when it is looking for
the libcurses.
 
in ncurses, wattrset is a macro that uses wattr_off
in solaris curses, wattrset is either defined to w32attrset, or it is a 
function.
