checking for iconv declaration... install-shextern size_t iconv (iconv_t cd, 
char * *inbuf, size_t *inbytesleft, char * *outbuf, size_t *outbytesleft);
checking for library containing waddstr... no
configure: WARNING: no enhanced curses library found; disabling TUI

configure: error: no termcap library found

Do i have to put some setting by configureß
I don't need the GUI.

I think you need termcap for readline.

Try installing the termcap development libraries and then
doing a clean rebuild.
