It sounds like the compilation fails at the link stage, that is, when
the command looks like
"gcc -o wermit <list of .o files> -lcurses <-l<something else>>".
This requires a file (or, more likely, a symbolic link leading to a real
file) named "libcurses.so" in a "standard" place, such as /lib or /usr/lib.
Since you are presumably using ncurses (the correct procedure on Linux
systems), the file is probably called "libncurses.so". Then either
(1) change the makefile to refer to "-lncurses" instead of "-lcurses", or
(2) add a symbolic link from "libcurses.so" to "libncurses.so" in the
appropriate directory.
