Hello Torsten,

I also have Root 2.00/9 on SuSE 5.2. The problem is, if you do a

timm@ac3a25:/usr7lib > ls -ld termcap

You get this:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jun 25 11:38 termcap

You can get around this problem by adding
-L/usr/lib/termcap
for
the CILIBS definition (somewhere around line 20-25) in the makefile.
Before the
-ltermcap
part of that definition of course.

If you have any more questions on getting root to compile you can mail
me directly if you like, unless there are other people with problems in
this configuration.

Bye
Timm
