What makes you think that slang should have dependency on ncurses ? slang 
is an alternative to ncurses - you either use ncurses or slang, not both
at the same time. If you want to link against ncurses try passing 
--with-screen=ncurses to the configure script.

Are you asking just out of curiosity or there is some problem that you are 
trying to solve ?
