gpm does not install

I do not succeed to install the very important package gpm from contrib. This is what I obtain: ........ daemon/open_console.o: In function `open_console': open_console.c:(.text+0x54): undefined reference to `major' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [Makefile:85: gpm] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... rm prog/display-coords.o prog/hltest.o prog/disable-paste.o prog/display-buttons.o prog/mev.o prog/get-versions.o make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pkgmk/work/gpm/src/gpm-1.20.6/src' make: *** [Makefile:99: do-all] Error 1 Some kind expert will help me? Thanks in advance!
