This is partialy OT. I'm recompiling Mutt to work better on Solaris
using ncurses. But when I compile ncurses, it fails to create the
terminfo on the make install.
I'm in a lab situation, so I pass this to ncurses' configure script:
./configure --prefix=/public/i86pc/ncurses-5.2
Everyting configures and makes fine. Then on make install, I get this;
make[1]: Entering directory `/public/build/ncurses-5.2/misc'
DESTDIR= \
prefix=public/i86pc/ncurses-5.2 \
exec_prefix=public/i86pc/ncurses-5.2 \
bindir=public/i86pc/ncurses-5.2/bin \
top_srcdir=.. \
srcdir=. \
datadir=public/i86pc/ncurses-5.2/share \
ticdir=public/i86pc/ncurses-5.2/share/terminfo \
source=../misc/terminfo.src \
/bin/sh ./run_tic.sh
** Building terminfo database, please wait...

You may see messages regarding unknown capabilities, e.g., AX.
These are extended terminal capabilities which can be
compiled using
tic -x
Read the INSTALL document before doing this - it can cause
problems for older ncurses applications.

Anyone have ideas as to why this occurs? This is Solaris 8 with the
latest MU4 updates on Intel.
