And you cannot recompile it?

libtermcap is actually sort of obsolete. On a current Ubuntu system
it is linked to the ncurses library.

If you are really stuck with the binary and cannot rebuild from
source, you could try to hack around this by

  sudo ln -s libtermcap.so /usr/lib/libtermcap.so.2

This will create a symlink to the current library. However, no
guarantees, it might fail miserably.

Good luck!

Martin
