Replace the LIBS = -ltermcap in the Makefile with LIBS = -lcurses. The
termcap library provides a lower level access to the terminal  capability
database than does curses, and can be used to build less when a port of
curses is not available.

You can get a precompiled version (ver 3.32 for 386) from my web site at
http://barnyard.syr.edu/minix.shtml.
