Try this one:
http://ports-space.haiku-files.org/sys-libs/
get the zip and then extract it to /boot...
5.9 should build with the steps listed in the .bep file:
http://ports.haiku-files.org/browser//haikuports/trunk/sys-libs/ncurses/ncurses-5.9.bep

You can use haikuporter to build it or more likely in your case just
follow the steps listed.  Are you still without networking in Haiku?
I'll try to build an posted a binary for 5.9 soon.  Not sure but I
would think the long term plan would be to move ncurses out to an
optionalpackage rather than keep it in Haiku's sources, but there's
probably something the is compiling against it may still in be there
for that reason.

Which command line apps are you working on?  You might check the list
of ports at HaikuPorts to see if it's already been ported, and if not
perhaps we can add it there.
