You could try "sudo touch /etc/termcap" and see what happens (assuming you don't actually have one). Greg Shenaut On May 29, 2007, at 1:22 PM, Bill Hernandez wrote:
All,
I installed a number of items with MacPorts after doing a clean install on my workstation, and everything has gone very well so far.
After installing all the ports listed below, I have run into an error every time I use the Terminal (bash).
The error message is : "trouble reading termcap" which I have googled, without much solid luck.
Any ideas how I can fix this error message ?
Best Regards,

I will post some info in reference to how well the install went, and some minor points I ran into. Hopefully I will get my website up and going again, but I am still fiddling with my network and my new firewall and trying to re-configure apache to work correctly with ip based virtual hosting and ssl, pgsql and mysql, and trying to get vpn working on my new SonicWall TZ 180 Wireless. My SonicWall experience has been quite a trip. When I was trying to get pre-sales info from a number of sources I was substantially misled ( I don't think it was intentional, I just think there are so many options available that it's hard to figure out exactly what options are really included with each variation of packages vs what options you need, or want), in terms of the hardware requirements, what software/capability, what licensing options, etc. I thought I might document all this in case it might help someone else...
Anyway, back to MacPorts, the primary ports I wanted were :
