FTR, Owl does some amount of TERMINFO clobbering, though it hasn't
changed in probably more than a year.
configure.in:
AC_CHECK_FILE(/usr/share/terminfo, AC_DEFINE(TERMINFO, "/usr/share/terminfo", [Have terminfo]),
AC_CHECK_FILE(/usr/share/lib/terminfo, AC_DEFINE(TERMINFO, "/usr/share/lib/terminfo", [Have terminfo]),
AC_MSG_ERROR(No terminfo found for this system)))
owl.c:
if (!getenv("TERMINFO")) {
sprintf(buff, "TERMINFO=%s", TERMINFO);
putenv(buff);
owl_function_debugmsg("startup: setting TERMINFO to %s", TERMINFO);
} else {
owl_function_debugmsg("startup: leaving TERMINFO as %s from envrionment", getenv("TERMINFO"));
}
