I have installed all the utilities from the third party CD and after the intallation every thing is fine except that when in the system I type a “clear” command to clear my screen I get the following message. How do I correct this error. The message I get is:
clear
‘quansi-m’ : Unknown terminal type.
Please help this seems to be irritating me.
Thank u in advance.

Now I re-read your post. Your problem is caused by the 3rd party CD utilities. Those are unsupported and may have bugs. In your particular case, the “ncurses” packages is to blame. It has a “clear” which overwrites the default OS version. It uses /opt/share/terminfo and there is no qansi-m in there … Your best bet is to uninstall the ncurses stuff from the CD.
I don´t uninstall ncurses and i copied the directory /usr/lib/terminfo/q/ to /opt/share/lib/terminfo/q/
The solution for now, seems to work well!
Is it a possible solution or can this one cause any problem to the system?
