config errors on Freebsd and python 2.3

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

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...

Not really, no. It's safe to ignore.

I've tried to fix it, still happens on Python 2.4.2 on FreeBSD6.0.

Don't sweat it ,

why you are not installing it from ports?

The port distribution doesn't build to support Tkinter. That's why I
started building python from source. And since I'm building from source
I can be more up-to-date then the ports distribution, and include pil,
pmw, etc in the build.

Python as installed from ports doesn't support Tkinter.

Looks like they changed that recently - because it used to build it by
default. Tkinter is now installed by x11-toolkits/py-tkinter.

The current ports Python is 2.4.2. Do you have a newer version of
Python? And pil/pmw and a lot of other things are already in the ports
tree as separate ports.
