Screen 4.00.02

[Diego A. Sánchez]

Hi, I have installed screen 4.00.02 in a HP-UX 11.11 server and I get the following error if I start screen:

$ screen
Cannot find terminfo entry for 'xterm'.

I can open a terminal in background mode but if I can reatach them the same error appear:

$ screen -dm
$ screen -ls
There is a screen on:
10196..bashpap (Detached)
1 Socket in /tmp/screens/S-root.
$ screen -r 10196..bashpap
Cannot find terminfo entry for 'xterm'.

I tried to configure the terminal but I can see allways the same error message.

TERM=xterm

Thank you
Fernando

Hi Clay!, thanks for you help.

I try to compile the screen source but the follow error appear:

$ ./configure
OK

$ make

Stop.

I try to comment the "CPPFLAGS=xxx/yyy/zzz/ncurses.h" line and I can see the same error.

this is the content of the "/usr/local/include/ncurses" directory of my server:
