Yes, Debian systems do not use termcap libraries, they use ncurses.

To quote INSTALL.TEX

If you have a distribution other than Red Hat (e.g. Debian), you may
need to edit {\tt\SYSL/LIBR.DAT} and replace all occurences of {\tt
- -ltermcap} with {\tt -lncurses}.  This is needed to recompile ({\tt
INSTEP2}, {\tt INSTEP4}) the source.  The binaries built on our Red Hat
systems apparently do not work without the {\tt libtermcap.so} shared
library.  The system calls needed by the GNU Readline library are
supplied by the {\tt ncurses} library on Debian, unlike RedHat and
others where the routines are in the {\tt termcap} library.


So edit $SYSLOCAL/LIBR.DAT and restart the install.

Eric
