error in tcsh

[Percy Glaves]

Dear Sirs,

I just installed tcsh from a depot:
tcsh-6.14.02-hppa-11.11.depot
This worked fine with swinstall in HPUX 11.11, but when I call the shell I get the following error:
tcsh: No entry for terminall type "dtterm"
tcsh: using dumb termina settings

after the first command (whatever command, ls for instance) is executes the command but the shell is stuck from there on.

any hints, any help?

Thank you very much,

Percy

pparently tcsh doesn't use the Curses library to handle the terminal, so you'll probably have to hardcode (yuck) the TERM value in your login profile. Look at man tcsh to see what order the profiles are read and set the TERM value to vt220 (or if that doesn't work, use vt100 (double yuck).

Hi Percy,

Try exporting different TERM value.

export TERM=vt100
or
export TERM=vt220
