It's a good question. Bear in mind that there isn't just one Linux, there
are many varieties. The number might even approach infinity as you consider
all the possible combinations of the various elements.

If building it from source doesn't work, then I'd recommend installing it
straight from the Redhat RPM install package, which you can also find at
the Kermit site:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck60.html
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/archives/ckermit-6.0.192-7.i386.rpm
(this is the PC version -- there are also versions for Alpha, Sparc, etc).
Perhaps not surprisingly, when the Redhat (or Slackware, or Debian) install
package doesn't work, then the recommendation is to build from source :-)

I think something must be wrong with your Linux installation -- how can there
be a curses library without a printw() function?
Anyway, try the Redhat RPM package -- hopefully it will "just work".
Meanwhile, I'm copying this to the Linux newsgroup for hints on what might
be amiss with your curses setup.
