That did the trick indeed.

Thanks.

For the maintainers in this mailing list: would it be wise to change the
error message ("configure: error: no termcap library found")?

To me, the message was misleading, because:
- a termcap library actually was present
- the configure script appeared to be needing other files besides the
library (header files, ... ).

Cheers,
