It is huge
Actually, not by modern standards. Word files have gotten smaller in
the last 5 years, but in the first few years of this millennium not a
few corporate intranets were taken to their knees by a couple of
people composing Christmas cards in Word and boradcasting them to the
whole company. :-) Let's put it this way: see if you can find the
relevant part, which is
configure:37471: result: no
configure:38597: gcc -o conftest -Wall -Wno-switch -Wundef -Wsign-compare
-Wno-char-subscripts -Wpacked -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wshadow
-Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -g
conftest.c -ltiff -ljpeg -lz -lXt -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -ltermcap -lcurses -lasound
-lm -lutil 1>&5
conftest.c:205: warning: second argument of 'main' should be 'char **'
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltermcap
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*without* using the words above in a search. If that little task
doesn't appeal to you, well, that's why we spend few bytes of
bandwidth. If it does, I'll let *you* do it for me in the future! :-)
Anyway, this looks like a bug in our configure script, but it will
take some time for me to find and fix it, and I don't know that
anybody else will get to it more quickly. As a workaround, I gather
you're using a Debian derivative. There is probably a "termcap"
package (the modern alternative is terminfo). If you install that
this problem will go away. It might be called "termcap-dev" or
"termcap-compat" or some such. (These packages are just a small
wrapper around the terminfo library.) It might also be part of the
ncurses family of packages on some distros, IIRC.
