I'm not familiar with RH nor Rocky; I use openSUSE, so I could be 
confused/mistaken. Here, if I see that error, it would be because I have 
not instaled termcap-devel. For compilation, I need to install the -devel 
version of each library.

(apparently I can have

Telcontar:~ # opi termcap-devel
Searching repos for: termcap-devel
1. mingw32-termcap-devel
2. mingw64-termcap-devel
Pick a number (0 to quit):

)
