Well good news! To get tgetent(), a libtermcap.a routine, to work on the RS6000 I only had to create a link from /etc/termcap to /lib/libtermcap/termcap.src: ln -s /lib/libtermcap/termcap.src /etc/termcap Any termcap file would do but IBM supplies this one. I am a bit surprised the RS6000 has routines to access the termcap file when it uses terminfo: but, then again, there is no manual entry for tgetent. I am glad it works but must wonder if it is suppose to work or will in the future.
