I downloaded the latest Kermit tarball from this link:

Compiling fails with a missing ncurses.h message thus:

Making C-Kermit "8.0.212" for Linux 1.2 or later...
IMPORTANT: Read the comments in the linux section of the
makefile if you have trouble.
make xermit KTARGET=${KTARGET:-linuxa} "CC = gcc" "CC2 = gcc" \

I didn't find a definitive answer by reading the makefile as suggested in the make messages, nor when searching lists.debian.org with Google.
