   I had the same problem with the less program, and I use the next
  steps to compile it and it works fine now:

   1. Use the makefile.bsd42
   2. Change the GLOB variable to 0 in the makefile
   3. Change the LIBS variable to '-lcurses -lbsd'
   4. Type make and enjoy less!

   Hope this helps...
