Here is how to fix such things.

Take your Unix Manuals.  Look up regcmp in the permuted index.  You'll find 
man pages listed in section 3, which is in the Programmer Reference Manual.

There you will see that 'this routine is kept in /lib/libPW.a'.

If you are familiar with ld, or read the man pages (Section 1, User
Reference Manual), you will know that such a library is automatically
included by putting the shorter -lPW on the cc command line.

So, let's edit the Makefile.  Comment out the LIBS definition, and
replace it as follows:

#LIBS = -ltermcap
LIBS = -lcurses -lPW

We'll do one thing more; curses is a later replacement for termcap,
and usually a bit better, so we substitute that library as well.  If
you turn out to have screen problems for some reason, you can alternatively
use:

LIBS = -lcurses -lPW

Once you've edited the Makefile, re-make vn.

This should work.  Hope you have good fortune with it.
