Public Polygraph versions cannot be compiled with GCC 3.x without
changes.

Probably using GCC 2.x, right?

The above "error" is normal. The configure script simply detects lack
of ncurses library, which is not required to run Polygraph tests. (A
polymon tool uses that library). You do not show enough context, but I
doubt that this "error" is causing any problems during the
configuration step.

You have a few options:

        - Switch to GCC 2.x on Solaris

        - Get access to the development version of
          Polygraph that used to compile on GCC 3.2(?)
          and can be ported to 3.3 if needed. Please contact
          me off list if you want details.

        - Wait for the development version to become
          public by the end of this year.

        - Port public version to GCC 3.X yourself.
