No. It shouldn't. It works fine as it is. Just don't refer to /lib/terminfo. Any legacy software that still uses terminfo in its old location will use /usr/lib/terminfo. This is not a big deal. It doesn't deserve a long thread on this mailing list. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
