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.

There is a feature that I used in KDE's Konsole that I really miss when I'm on a non-GUI server. The ability to "broadcast" what I type to all open windows.

Hello,
One of the things I like about screen is that it has a scrollback buffer, which if you go into the copy mode, will let you go back for a specified number of line. Is there a way to extend the number of scrollback lines in screen? I've looked thoroughly online and I could not find a... (2 Replies)

tic(1M) System Administration Commands tic(1M)
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

ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

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.
