Following up myself, I found and installed ncurses-devel, and now the grep gives:
#define HAVE_TERMCAP_H 1
#define HAVE_TERMIOS_H 1
#define HAVE_TERM_H 1
And now list-colors-display shows all the colors correctly. So, to
summarize, it seems that both ncurses and termcap headers are needed
for this to work (maybe terminfo could be substituted for termcap?).
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Cheers,
Len.
