They need to recompile the kernel with the options for SMP and HIGHMEM enabled.

that package should be on the slackware disc

If they install Slackware using the default package choices, make and the other developer tools in the D package should be installed. If not, you pop in the Slack CD and install them yourself.

Or you can also install them from an official slackware ftp.

You are going to need to install all the packages in the D section (Development). It will include all the tools you need to compile.

From that error you need gcc, ncurses, and I'm sure many others. They are in D (ncurses is in l).
