can't complile ncurses

[Allan Lindh]

Dear Ncurses
Trying to compile ncurses in a linux/lime12 system
have been through the configure w/o obvious errors
but the makefile bombs with following error messages
(At this point many many screens of makefile gibberish had scrolled
by, so it was working)

I am worse than a beginner (68 yrs old, had bad relation with berkeley
unix 30 yrs ago)
but trying to get some bioinformatics software running (for fun, us
old guys gotta do something to keep brain alive)
I suspect the problem is mine, not yours, but any thoughts you have
would be appreciated.
