When I try to run some apps from the terminal, 'mutt' for example, I get the err
or "Error opening terminal: vt100" and the application won't run.

I have my term variable set to 'vt100' (via 'set term=vt100') and environmental
variable also to vt100 ('setenv term vt100'). The termcap is also defined (thou
gh I have no idea if it is valid)...

Anyone else run into this or have any recommendations for solutions?

I am running tcsh under OS X version 10.0.4...

Thanks,

Fever

I did NOT have ncurses installed, but after you mentioned it, I installed it and everything is working fine! Thanks.
