Usually this happens when bash can't find what it wants in your terminal database (terminfo or termcap). This in turn is typically caused by one of two things: * When you compiled, bash couldn't find your terminal libraries. In this case, try installing the -dev or -devel packages for your operating system's terminal libraries (e.g. libncurses5-dev). * At run time, bash can't find a terminfo/termcap entry for your $TERM variable. In this case, check that TERM is set correctly. See if you can run "infocmp".
