Just thought of something: I fired up a vanilla xterm and tried
'emacs -nw', and ran into the same error:
emacs: Cannot open termcap database file
I have ncurses installed through fink, and I have TERMINFO
pointed (now) to /sw/share/terminfo.
But emacs still "cannot open termcap database file".
Seems like there's something more seriously going on here;
perhaps this is a "building Emacs21 on 10.2" problem?
