 does it say [ncurses 4.2] or something like that ?
 if it does default should do, if you have no ncurses, i do not believe
 that it knows what default color is
 You can replace default with black or whatever you like, then it should not
 complain...

again, i think he's getting the /usr/lib/libcurses.so in the mix (which i thought was 
svr4 curses)

 
 If you do not have ncurses i recommend that you go to www.sunfreeware.com
 and get yourself an ncurses package and then install it. after that recompile 
 mutt and it should be able to find your ncurses and compile against it.
 
 after that you can
 set your TERMINFO env to point to /usr/local/share/terminfo
 since this is where ncurses will install all the terminfo entries
 and you can also set your TERM to color_xterm and then default will work just
 fine... I actually had to go through it this morning

i wouldn't set the term to color_xterm, as thats not what dtterm is.  if you want 
color_xterm, run a colr xterm

i thought gnome was a sawfish thing now?  dont really use it, i like motif.  the newer

open source packages compiled.  even puts a gnome entry in the dtlogin menu.

 If you look on Sun's site, there is a link to a company that is
 doing the porting work for GNOME to Solaris. Last time I looked
 they hadn't quite got 1.4 packaged, but it was expected real soon
 now.

also, something i forgot to mention is that sun is ditching cde for gnome.  and some 
funky webdesk stuff, but thats another story.  im guessing at a release date of gnome 
2.0/solaris 9 timeframe.  heard their desktop group actually has ppl on the gnome 
team...also heard something about star office and open office getting together.

 default is implemented for ncurses and slang, not for Solaris curses.
 
 solaris curses == svr4 curses, i think.  /usr/lib/libcurses.a, etc.
 reason normal curses popped up is there are licensing issues with svr4
 stuff.
 
 heck, download the source for solaris (sun's website) recompile
 libcurses with default for that matter.

If you have Solaris 8 with the Software Companion installed, you have
ncurses sitting in /opt/sfw/lib.  Works great with Mutt.

This porting work is actually just for the fully-integrated version
Sun wants to ship in the future.  It's fully possible to compile and

Beta packages are being distributed by Ximian already (this is GNOME 1.4
/ Solaris 8). For the last while, it's seemed that they will ship a
heavily modified 1.4 with Solaris 9 sometime in October. And yes, they
do have people on the gnome team, and Star Office and Open Office are
even going as far as being 'merged' (heavily borrowing from each other).

Color Errors on Solaris

2001-05-23 Thread Carl B . Constantine

I've compiled Mutt 1.2.5 for Solaris 8 and do have some colors working
in dtterm with a couple exceptions. First, anyone know how to get the
standard dtterm to act more like the standard xterm with a black
background? the inverse video in the options looks horrible with ANSI
colors.

dtterm is closer to xterm-color than some others, but dtterm is still
the correct entry (color_xterm is a different program).

The current version of ncurses is 5.2 (20001021)
