Hello Ansgar, Sorry I didn't reply earlier. The objective of ./configure is to change the build/compile settings dependending on the environment. If you object Dejan's patch, there is another approach. To set TERM to to some value like linux, xterm, unknow, etc, to pass `make check-TESTS`. But that could be wrong. Mats Erik Andersson, upstream author of Nettoe said the "FTBFS is caused by a build environment lacking a defined TERM". The way to tell ./configure that TERM is not defined is to pass --without-terminfo to it. We decided that it was better to pass --without-terminfo to ./configure than to set TERM to something that could be incorrect. What do you think about all that? Regards, Aníbal
