I have just spent some time compiling and installing ncurses. After
doing so I went into mutt and got:-
S-Lang Error
Malloc Error
SLcurses_initscr: init failed
As you see my mutt was compiled with Slang.
I then found that most (also uses Slang) gave:-
Unable to create keymaps.
I then realised that the ncurses compile and install had added a
.terminfo directory in my home directory. I renamed this as save.terminfo
and mutt started working again.
Is this a conflict that is a problem? Can I use ncurses without .terminfo
and if so how do I then use stuff that uses Slang?
Has anyone come across this? This is my mutt -v output:-
