Which host OS are you using? 

Normally, any Unix-like OS comes with at least one of the libraries
mentioned above.

You need a term library for the host.

Please check your host OS installation. I'd guess you didn't install
one of those libraries (very likely under linux or Cygwin) or your
native compiler's configuration might be broken (likely if gcc is
installed in addition to another c-compiler).
