[GRASS5] vt100 error with osx + xterm error

I should add that the 'vt100' error is when I 'grass5' in an Aqua

that it can't open 'xterm.'

Jeshua's binaries installed, but I get the following when starting
GRASS:

Starting GRASS ..

Error opening terminal: vt100.
Invalid resource file, removing /var/root/.grassrc5

I don't think I can help much, but looking at the code, my guess is that
the UNIX function initscr() (called within the vask library) is finding
an error. This function exits the program if there is an error after
printing a message (the "Error opening terminal:" message seems to be a
UNIX message not a Grass message). I'm not sure, but it appears that you
have a system problem as opposed to a grass problem. Anyone know more
about the initscr() call and how it works with the vask library?

Sorry I couldn't be of much help.

Justin,

I get that same message using Cygwin. I checked the
/usr/lib/terminfo and all is well there. I'll look at the
initscr

Well, I fixed the error for Cygwin. It turned out that the
/usr/lib/terminfo directory was a symbolic link to the
./share/terminfo directory. I removed the symbolic
link, moved the share terminfo directory to /usr/lib and
created a symbolic link from share to ../lib for the
terminfo directory. No more error message. That's
a weird one. It might be because I am using the X-win32
server from StarNET. Programs compiled outside of
Cygwin do not recognize the Cygwin symbolic links. The
xfree binary should work OK.
