This is because some -- many -- applications have not been recompiled since 4/2008, and are still using cygncurses-8.dll. That dll used the "old" terminfo database, in which the entries are organized as /usr/share/terminfo/[a-zA-z0-9]/ The new terminfo entries are organized as /usr/share/terminfo/xx/ where xx is a two-digit hexadecimal number. Now, the rxvt-unicode-common postinstall script WILL install two different copies of each entry, but only if you have installed the old-style terminfo compiler program tic0. Use setup, install the 'tic0' package, and reinstall rxvt-unicode-common. -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
