Problems with procps compilation/installation

Hi there,

I'm trying to get my machine ready to run the latest 2.1 kernel
(2.1.90), thus I'm following the instructions of
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Changes.

I've installed all the other required packages, but I'm having a problem
to install the proc???? packages (procps and procinfo). I get the same
error on both compilations:

debiandev:/usr/local/2.1/procps-1.2.5# make
for dir in skill xproc xcpustate ; do \
[ -f $dir/Imakefile ] && (cd $dir; xmkmf) ; done
mv -f Makefile Makefile.bak
(...)
gcc -O3 -I/usr/include/ncurses -D_GNU_SOURCE -Wl,-warn-common -o top top.o
proc/libproc.so.1.2 proc/libproc.so.1.2 -ltermcap
ld: cannot open -ltermcap: No such file or directory
make: *** [top] Error 1

debiandev:/usr/local/2.1/procps-1.2.5# cd ../procinfo-13/
debiandev:/usr/local/2.1/procinfo-13# make
gcc -s procinfo.o routines.o -ltermcap -o procinfo
ld: cannot open -ltermcap: No such file or directory
make: *** [procinfo] Error 1
debiandev:/usr/local/2.1/procinfo-13#

Well, I replaced the call '-ltermcap' by '-lncurses' and I could go ahead
and compile/install procinfo.
When I thought everything would be fine ... :

(...)
gcc -O3 -I/usr/include/ncurses -D_GNU_SOURCE -o psupdate psupdate.o
elfupdate.o
proc/libproc.so.1.2 -lbfd -liberty
ld: cannot open -lbfd: No such file or directory
make: *** [psupdate] Error 1

Why is my system missing so many libraries ??? I am doing this
'endeavor'in a Debian 1.3.1.

Can someone please help me ??? Just giving some directions on what else I
should install in the system would be more than welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ivan Passos
