Ok, I am starting to feel stupid…

I am trying to use ncurses utilites (spin,vi,etc…) on my embedded target
but I get the error “Unrecognized TERM type” (from vi) or
“Error opening terminal: vt100” (from spin)

I am setting the environment variable TERM to vt100
I have a copy of the termcap file in /etc/termcap
I have tried setting TERMPATH

I am running on an embedded PPC btw

any tips/tricks/help out there???
