-ltermcap error

Can someone help me with this?

gcc -O3 -Wall -o ch_lab ch_lab_main.o -L../lib -lestools -L../lib -lestbase 
-L../lib -leststring -ltermcap -ldl -lm -lstdc++ -lgcc
/usr/i486-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -ltermcap
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [ch_lab] Error 1
make: *** [main] Error 2                      

I have libtermcap installed on my computer, yet I get this error...

Thanks
