The solution is actually trivial:

Options:
1. set the environment variable LIBS to LIBS="-lcurses"
$ LIBS="-lcurses"
$ R
> install.packages("rcompletion")

2. change the line LIBS="-lreadline  $LIBS" in configure script to
LIBS="-lreadline -lcurses  $LIBS"
and then regenerate the tar.gz package.
$ R
> install.packages("rcompletion", repos=NULL)

During compilation the -lcurses option does not appear in the command lines, 
it seems necessary only during tests.

Haven't tested thoroughly but rcompletion seems to work fine.

Best wishes.
