Subject: Linux Grass
I have recently installed GRASS on my linux box. Unfortunately, I am having
trouble getting the XDRIVER to work. I believe my problem is with my terminfo
file. In the docs that I recieved with the binary distribution of GRASS,
I was told to use one of the files in the term.tar.z file. Unfortunately,
this file is no where to be found. Does anyone know where I can find this
file other than ftp?
The error message reads:
Could not find the terminfo file /usr/lib/terminfo/x/xterm
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Not knowing in what situation you got the error message, the following
may not help much.
I compiled GRASS4.1 on Linux with the following options:
1) when run utils/setup, I used -ltermcap for TERMLIB
2) I used the SLS release of Linux with X-windows.
3) after compile XDRIVER, debug XDRIVER first before run grass4.1.
4) make sure you are running X-windows in VGA256 mode.
Again, I need to know more about the situation when you got the error
message. For example, is is when you run setup? or when you compile? or
when you run XDRIVER? Wish I knew the specifics so that I can be of
more help.

Andy was kind enough to uuencode the file and mail it to me (Thanks Andy!).
I now have GRASS4.1 up and running on Yggdrasil Linux 0.99pl13. Everything
went smooth once I had the correct files.
