- Folks:
-
- I seem to have this problem with every PD program I port to my RS/6000, and
- based on my very fuzzy knowledge of terminfo v. termcap (I remember the good
- 'ol days when termcap was it) I'm not sure how to correct it.
-
- I've installed both emacs and rn easily, but cannot execute them due to an
- error that pops up "Termcap entry not found" or somesuch. I'm running an
- ibm3151 and wyse50s, and assumed that these programs would look in the
- terminfo files for the info they need - the source looks like it's calling
- curses for terminal info, although I couldn't find the function reference
- in my (incomplete) man pages. I added an entry for the ibm3151 into the
- /etc/termcap file but nothing doing, still won't work. Could someone who
- groks this stuff clue me in?
-
- Regards,
- Gord
