Right. As that are binary packages they install only the libraries but
not the header files which are needed for compilation of new programs
using hamlib.

That is the result from the missing header files. If you install the
hamlib and hamlib-dev packages from your distribution, it should
configure succesfully.

No idea yet. Works here like a charme. Do you know the version of
cwdaeon you have installed ('sudo cwdaemon -V')? That problem needs
further attention.

Normally a problem with the settings of your terminal program. Check
your TERM settings ('echo $TERM') and which function keys are catched
by the terminal program. If unsure, try tlf in pure text mode
(Ctrl-Alt-F6) should switch to one of those).
