Making a guess for $inc and/or $libs...
Making a guess for "c-config.h"...

I'm sorry, but I couldn't find a hints file that was configured for
your OS (named hints/c-freebsd.h). You will need to create and configure a
"c-config.h" file for yourself. Please see the "INSTALL" directions
for pointers on how to do this.
make: no target to make.
/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

Same Issue with me on FreeBSD 5.3, I made an attempt to install it myself but make produced a bunch of errors. so I'm not sure what the deal is, you can give it a try yourself to see if it works for you..

cd /usr/home/.cpan/build/Curses-1.14
cp hints/c-freebsd.bsd.h /usr/home/.cpan/build/Curses-1.14/c-config.h
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

on make I had errors so I stopped there..

[NeutralGold]

err, that'd be 1.13 for you if you didn't notice lol, just change the appropriate txt.

The following worked for me:

cd /home/.cpan/sources/authors/id/G/GI/GIRAFFED/
type; ls -la and search for the version of Curses in the current directory. The version on my server is Curses-1.14.tgz.
tar -zxvf Curses-1.14.tgz
cd Curses-1.14
ln -s hints/c-freebsd.ncurses.h c-config.h
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
