I compiled elm2.3pl9 on the IBM Risc-System 6000 using the cc compiler
under AIX3.1. When I try to run elm, I get the following message
elm -z
Failed trying to initialize your terminal entry: unknown return code -3
Has anyone successfully ported elm2.3 to the IBM Risc-System 6000? If so,
what did you change to avoid this problem? Does anyone else have any
insight?

The source of the error you mentioned is that someone put the termcap file in /lib/termcap/termcap.src or something like that. A "find /lib -name *termcap* -print" will find it for you. Do the planet a favor and call Defect Support and open an APAR against this problem. The termcap file belongs in /etc/termcap, not some silly hiding place. -- John F.

Anyone volunteer to create a FAQ for this group yet? Anyhow, this one
came up originally six or seven months ago and more recently about a
month and a half ago. The solution is to make sure that -lcurses is
the only display library being linked into the executable in
src/Makefile. I believe -ltermcap gets put in automatically when you
run the configuration script. Again no source modifications are needed
for porting this program...

Well this is unecessary as the curses library utilitizing terminfo will work perfectly for elm (at least newer versions)... >Do the planet a favor and call Defect Support and open an APAR against >this problem.

My, it was a nice little vacation ... The /etc/termcap file is currently hiding in /lib/libtermcap/termcap.src. HyperSearch says to use TERMINFO instead of TERMCAP, but for some people that isn't the best answer. -- John F.
