Your AIX terminal is broken if 'xterm' is not a valid terminfo string. Many command line tools will not work on your terminal.
It's possible your entire terminfo installation is broken, or it may just be that xterm is missing (which would be kinda weird, xterm is as old as the dinosaurs, it not being in a terminfo installation is something I have trouble imagining). I have no idea how AIX does package management, but if there is something, try asking it to install / update / fix 'terminfo' or possibly 'termcap' (the old name).
