Mutt has nothing to do with it. Mutt should run fine under either ncurses
or slang, and will use the one that you configure, compile, and link it with
at compile time.
You do not need ~/.terminfo, ncurses should work fine without it. (Assuming
ncurses was compiled with the right options to inform it to use the "native"
method of TERM configuration... either termcap or terminfo...)
I'm not sure why S-Lang has trouble with your ~/.terminfo, perhaps you should
post your question on:
alt.lang.s-lang OR alt.lang.slang
as your question surely belongs there. (as opposed to here)
