Installation problem: the configure script does not check the availability of the 'termcap' library.
After running configure, it says: 'Configuration successful. To continue installation, type 'gmake''.
'gmake' stops with the message: ....bin/ld: cannot find -ltermcap
Obviously, there is no check for libtermcap in the configure script.
Somewhere I found the hint, that the termcap library is nowadays replaced or included in the ncurses library (on Linux).
Replacing -ltermcap with -lncurses solved the problem here, but this should be checked by configure.
