Chuck, you needed to include all dependency > definitions. Dependencies can be found from a search of `use='. Hmmm...I thought that if tic could not write to the system default terminfo database, then it used ~/.terminfo as a fallback automatically. Ditto for programs that use ncurses: I thought they looked in the system location AND in ~/.terminfo without the need for a special TERMINFO variable setting. Am I wrong? w.r.t. dependency definitions, I thought I had included all the necessary ones. I'll check again. --Chuck -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
