05-02-2009 Problem after installing vim
Host system Ubuntu 8.10 Book 6.4 Chapter 6.58. Vim-7.2 After installing Vim (final command vim -c: 'options' vim appears to be working fine. BUT the shell behaves oddly 1. Issuing the command clear does not clear the display; it gives the error message 'xterm': unknown terminal type 2. The delete key does not delete but prints the tilde ~ character. I have tried reinstalling vim, but this has no effect. I have tried reinstalling bash but this fails with the message: bison -y -d ./parse.y conflicts: 1 shift/reduce bison: cannot open file `/usr/share/bison/m4sugar/m4sugar.m4': No such file or directory make: *** [y.tab.c] Error 1 " If I press on (with my dodgy keyboard) I can set up the scripts in ch 7, but when I get to the stage of compiling the kernel (ch 8) the make .... menuconfig command gives the message: 'Error opening terminal: xterm' I had this problem with a previous attempt at building LFS and (because I wasn't too sure about the build as a whole, I scrapped it and started again). This time everything *appeared* to be ok until the problems that I have outlined appeared after the installation of vim. I would appreciate some guidance on this as I don't really want to rebuild the whole thing a third time.
