Hi I installed vim 7.1 via cygwin on Windows XP machine. However, when I run vim on the bash shell of cygwin, I am getting the following error.
E558: Terminal entry not found in terminfo 'cygwin' not known. Available builtin terminals are: builtin_riscos builtin_amiga builtin_beos-ansi builtin_ansi builtin_pcansi builtin_win32 builtin_vt320 builtin_vt52 builtin_xterm builtin_iris-ansi builtin_debug builtin_dumb defaulting to 'ansi' I initially asked about this on the vim mailing list http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/vim/message/80886 In that discussion, it was determined that my terminfo database is not properly installed and readable. For example, if I do bash-3.2$infocmp infocmp: couldn't open terminfo file . However, I do not know how to solve the problem. The termcap 20050421-1, terminfo 5.5_20061104-1 are already installed on this system via cygwin. All the software is installed via cygwin installer using the http://mirrors.xmission.com mirror. I have neither installed any source packages nor compiled any software on this system. All the packages that were installed are binary. The output of cygcheck -s -v -r 2>&1 | tee cygcheck.out is attached in this email. Please let me know if any other info is needed. Any suggestion/ideas would be really appreciated. thanks raju ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Finally - A spam blocker that actually works. http://www.bluebottle.com -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
