Difficulty in installing ncurses.
7.2-RELEASE #0. Generic kernel. Full installation from DVD. I'm trying to install ncurses because I want to run FoxPro Unix, which expects a terminfo database. I did this: # cd /usr/src/contrib/ncurses [Enter] # ./configure [Enter] The last line of output is config.status: error: cannot find input file: test/Makefile.in I contacted the authors and I got a reply stating: It looks as if the source-tree is incomplete and an alternative approach to installation. How should I proceed? Thanks in advance. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Console terminal behaviour
This question concerns console terminal behaviour.
For some time I have been attempting to get MS FoxPro
for SCO Unix running under FreeBSD. I have got most
aspects running acceptably with the exception of the
console behaviour. The symptoms are as follows: FoxPro
starts up normally and everything appear as it should
be. However when I type commands in the command window
the typing appears in white characters on a black
background, not the normal colour pair. On pressing
[Return] the typed input appears in the normal colour
pair at the left side of the screen on the next line
down, the cursor returns to the command box in the
normal colour. No output from foxPro in response to
the command is observed. FoxPro is running however as
pressing [F10] then [Return] results in the [System]
menu dropping down as normal.
On terminals and in an xterm the behaviour is normal.
I'm running a fresh standard install of 4.7 with
GENERIC kernel. The hardware is a standard PC running
an AMD k6-2 300 cpu. I am using a terminfo entry,
reproduced below, kindly supplied by Peter Elsner,
which I understand works perfectly for him.
My questions are these:
1. How should I research and diagnose this problem?
2. Is this question sufficiently described?
3. Where else might I find information and advice on
this problem?
Thank you for your attention, regards, Michael Green

Changing console behaviour
Further to my question about missing shared object libmytinfo.so.2, Peter Elsner was again kind enough to guide me to the compatibilty libraries, which once loaded solved the problem. I created a fresh FBSD 4.7 installation and ran the install script which ran through without a problem. Unfortunately the console behavour is still very abnormal, which leads me to believe that there may be some error in the way the console is configured. Which brings me to my question, is there any way to alter the console behaviour at all, and if so what changes would be most likeley to improve compatibility to MS Foxpro Unix for SCO? Thanks in advance, regards, Michael Green. __ Do You Yahoo!?

missing file libmytinfo.so.2
I recently placed a message asking for help in getting the SCO version of MS FoxPro Unix running under FBSD 4.7. Peter Elsner (thank you Peter) was kind enough to send me a shell script which sets things up automatically. However I ran into a problem with the version of tic he included. The version of tic compained about a missing library, the error messsage was: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object libmytinfo.so.2 not found I compiled ncurses and used the version of tic from that but the results on the console were very unsatisfactory. Can anyone shed any light on the missing 'shared object'. Thanks in advance. Regards, Michael Green __ Do You Yahoo!?

docs for ibcs2
I am trying to get MS FoxPro for SCO unix working. I have come up against the 'Too many files open' error, which I know from trawling the newsgroups and mail archives to be not a files related problem. Can anyone point me to any docs which may help me resolve this issue (or maybe just tell me what is required). Thanks. __ Do You Yahoo!?

Are you using a multiserial card?
If so I would be very interested to see the section of the kernel configuration file where the card is configured, as I am having severe difficulty in getting a Byterunner tc800 to work. __ Do You Yahoo!?

Byterunner multiserial saga
I've got a Byterunner tc800 set to 0x100 and irq 4 to correspond with an Arnet 8 port for use under SCO OpenServer for terminals (the motherboard com ports are disabled). I'm having difficulty getting it to run under FBSD 4.6.0 (large numbers of dropped characters). I have confirmed that the hardware functions correctly by installing SCO OpenServer. I have confirmed that the GENERIC kernal works sucessfully with the motherboards com ports. I've reviewed man sio, LINT, handbook, and searched the maillist archives, the www and Byterunner web site. /usr/sbin/config returns a syntax error when the keywords tty, vector or siointr (see below) are used. * Could someone expand on the instructions in man sio especially the hex flags code and the use of tty and the other keywords. Current kernal config file= #device sio0 at isa? port IO_COM1 irq 4 #device sio1 at isa? port IO_COM2 irq 3 #device sio2 at isa? port IO_COM3 irq 5 #device sio3 at isa? port IO_COM4 irq 9 options COM_MULTIPORT device sio0 at isa? port 0x100 flags 0x20705 ... device sio7 at isa? port 0x138 flags 0x20705 irq 4 * Example seen in maillist archives= device sio11 at isa? port 0x138 tty flags 0xb05 irq 12 vector siointr Oh yes and what does this mean?: You should set the 0x1 flag (only in current yet) as well, to avoid the case where a pending IRQ from a higher port prevents sio`s test#3 from passing on a lower port. Thanks. PS Is this the correct place for this query? __ Do You Yahoo!?
