config errors on Freebsd and python 2.3

[David Bear]

I need python 2.3. I have freebsd 4.10-releng. when configuring python I
received the following:

./configure --prefix=/home/webenv > config-results
configure: WARNING: curses.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: curses.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: curses.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: curses.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: curses.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: curses.h: in the future, the compiler will take

I don't plan on using curses -- so I'd like to ignore this. But, I'm just
wondering if there is an 'easy' fix...
