Hey folks -

I was trying to get Eterm running to no avail - too many dependencies that just wouldn't see each other, etc...

So I installed Aterm. Seems to work pretty good except when I try to read or update a file with VI, ex vi /home/andy/file

It doesn't display the file and won't let me do anything.

Anyone seen this?

on occasion i have seen it on my Gentoo boxes with nano before, generally after an aterm or some other update, generally a recompile of nano fixes it for me or occasionally bumping the version.

Try


export TERM=xterm
