Sorry for my ignorance but put your Verbose instructions in makefile.. Attached are the Cactus output. File A is the gmake config and File B is just gmake. The build log are very small but also attached. The two problem libraries were in /Cactus/configs/Cactus/scratch. the libncurses config log is attached. lua did not have one. Thank you for any help.

Ah, now I understand. Lua does not actually *need* readline however. It can be compiled without it.

The fact that 'lbncurses' and 'lua' don't compile is an old story the answer to is all over the internet. ld gives a message back exit 1 while trying to compile these, 'ltermcap' routine is missing. Many many people have posted this problem and solutions which I wasted 2 months of my spare time on. It's about time you either fixed these library routines or at least warned people about this long standing problem. David Rosenberg

It might be that you deviate from the recommended install instructions earlier. Cactus and the Einstein Toolkit contain many thorns, and not all thorns build on all systems. Quite unfortunately, Cactus's default behaviour is to actually try and build all thorns it finds, which is the thing that is "it's about time". If you provide a thorn list when creating a new configuration, then you'll build far fewer thorns -- in particular you'll build only thorns that are officially supported and should work out of the box.
I don't think there is ever a case where I'd want to build all thorns that Cactus finds. Thus the default of creating a thorn list from all thorns isn't good. It should be changed to abort with an error instead, requiring an explicit thorn list.

The logs show that libncurses configues successfully, but it might not build correctly. The build log should show, but it wasn't attached.

I am sorry you wasted so much time on this. Is there anything you can suggest that could make new users ask early in case of problems?
Back to the libncurses problem: Which system is this on - which flavor and version of Linux? Can you please also provide your thornlist and option list? This way we might be able to reproduce it. Maybe a list of installed packages would also be helpful (to see which of the libraries you have installed, in addition to the dev packages).
