[comp.unix.aix] Elm 2.2 Under AIX 3.1

eddjp@edi386.UUCP ( Dewey Paciaffi ) (10/26/90)

Has anyone been able to get Elm 2.2 to handle the screen properly under
AIX 3.1 ? Some of the termcap functions seem to be dummied up, and when
I start Elm, it doesn't have any cursor positioning capability.

Any help would be appreciated.

Shouldn't you be at 2.3 PL8? Anyway, the problem that I encountered
during porting was that libtermcap.a (-ltermcap in src/Makefile) was
linked in rather than libcurses.a. Substituting -lcurses for -ltercap
(not in addition) fixed everything...
