Re: Problem with terminals



Hello,

	Thanks for your reply.

	I reinstalled termcap. NOTHING was changed. If I want to set other
terminal - it changes but if I want to run some curses program it says
'unknown terminal type' and finish to work.

	Running tic -I gives:
"/etc/termcap", line 265, col 1: Illegal character (expected alphanumeric
or @%&*!#) - 'd' = 0x64
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

	I have termcap-9.13.25-1.

	Thanks,					Michael
