Hello,
I'm trying to find out whether the following is a GNU Screen or
ncurses issue:
After migrating from MacOS 10.4.11 (Tiger) to 10.5.5 (Leopard)
setting term "screen-256color" in .screenrc gives the following
error messages:
"TERMCAP", line 19, col 1, terminal 'SC': Illegal character - '^J'
"TERMCAP", line 19, col 1, terminal 'SC': wrong type used for string capability
'FA'
The messages look like those that ncurses would write, e.g., if it cannot
find the terminfo database but does find a /etc/termcap or - in this case
the $TERMCAP environment variable set by GNU screen - and finds some
problem with the syntax. I'm not sure about the ^J, but given the whole
text from the environment variable, could probably show why ncurses didn't
like some of it.
I'm using latest ncurses(w) 5.7 and xterm-237.
Same setup worked flawlessly on 10.4.11, any ideas what's going
on? Should I turn to one of the Screen lists?
Mostly ncurses - one of the various ways that it fails to find the
terminfo database: (a) not there, (b) TERMINFO and/or TERMINFO_DIRS
variables set to a misleading value.
