Do you have proper terminfo files for those terminal types installed?
terminfo describes the escape sequences used to control the terminal.
e.g. to clear the screen and move the cursor to the beginning of the
top line, print "\01b[H\01b[J"
If you don't have these terminfo files, then ncurses doesn't know how
to work your terminal. terminfo files are binary. You compile them
with tic (TermInfo Compiler) and on some systems you can use untic to
get the source code back from a compiled terminfo file.
On my desktop machine, the terminfo files are in /usr/share/terminfo/*/*
where the first wildcard is the first character of the terminal name
and the second is the whole name. e.g. the terminfo for xterm is in
/usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm
Since they are in /usr/share it suggests that the binary file is
portable. Maybe you could just copy xterm and vt100 from your
desktop to your ts board.

ldd only shows shared libraries. Your program runs instead of complaining
about missing shared libraries, right? You probably linked with the
static ncurses library. That's fine unless you can identify a real need
to make it a shared library.
