Oyvind,

Your problem is probably curses.  I had to download and install,
the latest version of ncurses from Sunsite before I could compile 
gnuchess.  Then I had to make the following changes (excerpted from
my rebuild script):

cd /usr/src/gnuchess-4.0.pl77/src
mv configure configure.old
sed 's/curses/ncurses/g' configure.old >configure
./configure
mv Makefile Makefile.1
sed 's/local\/gnu//g'  Makefile.1 >Makefile
make
make install

The 1st sed statement simply changes all instances of "curses"
to "ncurses" in the configure file.  The second removes a 
reference to a non-existant "/local/gnu/install" program and
allows the "/bin/install" program to work. Check that install
is in your /bin.  If not change this statement accordingly.

Hope it works for you.

Enjoy,

John
