My linux system is also a debian distribution:

  Linux tillamook-sharp 2.0.6 #2 Sun Jul 14 18:49:25 PDT 1996 i586
  Copyright (C) 1993-1996 Debian Association, Inc. and others

with exactly the same ncurses entries in /var/lib/dpkg/status and the
same curses libs in /lib.

I also have the following files in /usr/lib:

  /usr/lib/libcurses.a
  /usr/lib/libcurses.so
  /usr/lib/libncurses.a
  /usr/lib/libncurses.so
  /usr/lib/libncurses3.0_pic.a
  /usr/lib/libncurses_g.a

I don't have termcap or termlib libraries.  When I run configure, it
finds -lncurses.

Can someone please debug this? 

Thanks,

jwe
