tcsh on Itanium 11.23

[Nyck_1]

I have just installed tcsh and when I invoke it I get the following message:-

tcsh
tcsh: using dumb terminal settings.

Can someone remind me on how I fix this?

It means your TERM environment variable is not properly set. Set it to correct value (depends on your terminal/emulator; the most common values are probably vt100, xterm and hp) before invoking tcsh.

My TERM is currently set as the following:-

echo $TERM
dtterm

This is the same for all my other HP servers and tcsh works fine, the annoying thing is that I cannot remember what I did in the first place to get it working.

Hi,

if I remember correctly, I added a symlink under /lib/... or so pointing to /usr/share/lib/terminfo or wherever the location of the commonly used TERM-base is found.
Sorry - no HP-host at hand just now.

Got this working now, I copied across a version that was compiled and all seems fine now.

But this does not explain how its working on my other Itanium servers and not this one.
