I need to get a multiple terminal application working, fairly quickly
now, but I seem to be hitting blocks whereever I go, so let me dribble
my woes here.
First, I'll hit the strictly Fink-ish ones: (1) gnome-terminal, and (2)
aterm.
(1) gnome-terminal won't seem to start a shell. I tried zsh, bash, and
two different tcsh's, all entered in /etc/shells, but I get no chars
from any of them. The mouse seems to work (I can select an entire line,
and it goes correctly to reverse video on that line) but I can never see
any echo'ed characters. I've spent a lot of hours trying different
config settings, none havef worked yet.
(2) aterm doesn't seem to have a binary executeable anywhere. I looked
over the build script from fink (I finally rebuilt it from sources, so I
could get that listing), it installs several files, but nothing
executable. I can't find it anywhere, and I havef sure looked around,
under a lot of other names besides "aterm".
The other alternatives aren't fink, so while I'll continue here, you
could stop at this point. What I'm looking for (options in the "got to
have" category, you understand?) are, having control-h come from the
delete key, having multiple terminals avaiable via tabs, and use of
enough font so that I can read it, I hate small print.
Anyways, iTerm does a miserable job on the delete key remapping.
GLterm doesn't seem to have tabbing for terminals at all, and has a
miserable assortment of fonts. It took me a while, but I did at least
get it to use control-h for the delete key. Apple's own offering,
Terminal, doesn't seem to support tabbing at all.
If I could get help with either aterm or the odd problem with
gnome-terminal (that's really the only reason I even installed gnome on
the box, although pygtk is also a pretty fair reason, I admit).
Thanks for any help.
