Greetings,Got a problem here that I think I 
have figured out what is causing it.  What I don't know is where to find 
what I need to fix the problem.  Here is the problem that I am 
having:
 
On a Red Hat 6.2 system with kernel 2.2.16-RAID 
when I try to run the command 'clear' I get a segmentation fault (core 
dump).  Thanks to some assistance from Danny Cox I thought the problem was 
with my terminfo settings.  The problem was initially detected when 
telneting (or rlogin) from an IRIS workstation.  I would get the 
message:
        No entry for 
terminal type "iris-ansi-net"However I am getting the segmentation with all 
terminals settings whether I am local or remotely logged in.  I still 
thought the problem was a terminfo problem and when I try to use infocmp to see 
the settings from the database I get         
 infocmp: error in loading shared libraries: infocmp: undefined symbol: 
_nc_user_definableSo I am figuring that when clear looks to the terminfo 
database it is causing some type of similar error and causing the segmentation 
fault.
 
So my question is,.. what libraries did I forget to 
install?  So for clear has been the only thing that has been giving me a 
problem.  Man pages didn't help me a great deal and I can't seem to find 
anything on the web.  Anyone got any ideas?  
 
Thanks,Jeff
