[comp.unix.ultrix] creating a termlib entry from termcaps

salantel@wsqtb9.crd.ge.com (E. L. Salant) (02/15/91)

I am trying to run a cursesX application on our new DecStation 5000, and have
found that there is no termlib entry for an xterm.  I therefore took the 
termcap entry and did a tic -v on it.  While the tic command seemed to work ok
(it created an xterm directory in /usr/lib/terminfo/x), when I try running my
curses application I get from initscr() "Sorry, I don't know how to deal with
your `xterm` terminal".

Why isn't it finding the xterm entry in termlib??
Please respond directly to me at the address above and thanks for your help.
