Help with installing mutt 1.4 on AIX

2002-09-17 Thread Bright, Frank

Hi,

We are trying to install mutt on AIX.  This is version 1.4 of mutt and AIX
4.3.3.  The zip is untarred but the program will not execute saying 

Error opening terminal: wy50.

Has anyone experienced this problem and how to solve it?

Thanks in advance!

perhaps it was compiled with the location of the terminfo directory set
to a nonstandard location (or uses libraries that aren't compatible with
AIX's terminfo).  There are a few possibilities.  Running 'strings' on
the binary should show terminfo and/or termcap.  If it shows only
the former, it is compiled against curses or ncurses; setting TERMINFO
to something like /usr/lib/terminfo may fix it.  If the latter (termcap),
it won't work with AIX's terminfo, but requires a termcap file.
