Either termcap or libncurses.a needed. We expect the system provides at least termcap. 
SuSE and RedHat do not. Get last resort /usr/lib/libncurses.a by installing 
ncurses-devel-5.3-115 (SuSE9) or similar.

If you don't know or don't have a termcap or libncurses, install OpenPKG ncurses 
package as a workaround. We do not currently plan to make OpenPKG ncurses a forced 
requirement.

GNU readline checks for curses.

The perl-term-20030723-20030723 package requires ncurses and currently
only works because most systems provide a static library. It is known
that redhat9 and suse9 don't do it and thus perl-term fails building.

Workaround: install OpenPKG ncurses package prior perl-term

Solution: not know now. The perl-term package should not require ncurses
so adding it as a requirement is not intended use. The root cause needs
to be found and fixed.
