LART accepted. I am running CYGWIN_NT-5.1, I got that from uname. I think that terminfo may in fact be the correct diagnosis. I found a symlink of terminfo in /lib where terminfo was pointing to ../share/terminfo. There is no /share directory. If you look in my cygcheck.out you will find that terminfo 5.4_20041009-1 is listed as installed. So, is my installation of terminfo broken? What do I need to do to fix it? Thanks! fybar
