OK, you're right about '--with-gpm=no'. If you're interested, here's the official method of installing debs thru the source: 'dpkg-source -x package.dsc' in a dir where you have package.orig.tar.gz, package.diff and package.dsc. This puts the source in a subdir, with the debian patch applied. in that dir: 'debian/rules build' then 'debian/rules binary'. This creates a .deb file, so just dpkg -i that. I don't know if 'rules build' reads the configuration done by ./configure, so I put --with-gpm=no in a proper place in the 'rules' file (right in there with a bunch of predefined configuration options). But 'rules build' (and an ordinary 'make' as well, actually) gives me the error: 'ld: cannot open -ltermcap: No such file or directory'. I was kinda hoping you, or someone else, could help me with that.
