This problem arises when Emacs is build without ncurses-support.
You should install the ncurses development libraries and then start your
build process.
On Debian I do this to get ncurses:
chris:~# apt-get install libncurses5-dev
This should fix your problems if you want to run Emacs on a Text
Terminal. If you want to compile GNU Emacs with X-support you have some
choices:
Use configure
--with-x-toolkit=KIT use an X toolkit
(KIT = yes/lucid/athena/motif/gtk/no)
You probably want GTK. (You will need the corresponding dev-libraries of
course!)
Hope this helps,
Christian
