make fails at sysdep.cc on Slackware 7.0

[Jeremy A. Gray]

This same error was asked about here on 23 October 2000, but I didn't
see any responses in the list archive.  Here are the (hopefully) relevant
error messages from make:  

c++ -c  -I. -I.. -I../liboctave -I../src -I../libcruft/misc  -I../glob
-I../glob -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -mieee-fp -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions
-fno-implicit-templates -g -O2 -Wall sysdep.cc

make[1]: *** [src] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/octave-2.0.16'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Attached is the termcap.h file.  

Does anyone have the solution or pointers toward it?
