GNU screen on HP-UX 11.23

I compiled GNU screen on HP-UX 11.23 and following the compile, I get the following error when I try to run screen
Cannot find terminfo entry for 'vt100'
By default the TERMINFO is not set, I found a reference that setting it might help. I tried the following but I still receive the same error.
export TERMINFO=/usr/share/lib/terminfo
Here is my HP-UX release:
HP-UX hp11 B.11.23 U ia64 0109324224 unlimited-user license

Screen release:
Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06

Anyone seen this and managed to remedy the error? Thanks in advance.

NAME
tic - terminfo compiler SYNOPSIS
tic [-v [n]] [-c] file DESCRIPTION
The command tic translates a terminfo file from the source format into the compiled format. The results are placed in the directory /usr/share/lib/terminfo. The compiled format is necessary for use with the library routines in curses(3CURSES). If the environment variable TERMINFO is set, the compiled results are placed there instead of /usr/share/lib/terminfo. Total compiled entries cannot exceed 4096 bytes. The name field cannot exceed 128 bytes. Terminal names exceeding 14 characters will be truncated to 14 characters and a warning message will be printed. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -c Specifies to check only file for errors. Errors in use= links are not detected. -v[n] Specify that (verbose) output be written to standard error trace information showing tic's progress. The optional integer n is a number from 1 to 10, indicating the desired level of detail of information. If n is omitted, the default level is 1. If n is spec- ified and greater than 1, the level of detail is increased. OPERANDS
file Contains one or more terminfo terminal descriptions in source format [see terminfo(4)]. Each description in the file describes the capabilities of a particular terminal. When a use=entry-name field is discovered in a terminal entry currently being compiled, tic reads in the binary from /usr/share/lib/terminfo to complete the entry. (Entries created from file will be used first. If the environ- ment variable TERMINFO is set, that directory is searched instead of /usr/share/lib/terminfo.) tic duplicates the capabilities in entry-name for the current entry, with the exception of those capabilities that are explicitly defined in the current entry. FILES
/usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/* Compiled terminal description database ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
captoinfo(1M), infocmp(1M), curses(3CURSES), terminfo(4), attributes(5) NOTES
When an entry, for example, entry_name_1, contains a use=entry_name_2 field, any canceled capabilities in entry_name_2 must also appear in entry_name_1 before use= for these capabilities to be canceled in entry_name_1. SunOS 5.10 5 Jul 1990 tic(1M)
