Another question:

I've installed the Ancient Domains of Mystery port on my 4.1.1-STABLE system
and cannot get it to run. I keep getting the following error on startup:

Error opening terminal: cons25

I've tried setting the TERM variable to 'vt100' and 'ansi' but it only
changes the error message to:

Error opening terminal: vt100

or

Error opening terminal: ansi

I've read the ADOM README file and it suggests running a program called
'tconv' on FreeBSD systems to create a terminfo database from a termcap
file. Seems I can't find a binary called 'tconv', although a 'locate tconv'
does show C sources for 'tconv' in /usr/src/usr.bin/tconv. I'm not much of
an expert in compiling, but tried to 'make', 'make build' and 'make install'
in that directory, but to no avail. How can I create this binary? Should it
not be rebuilt whenever I do a make world?

Has anybody had the same problem with this port?

Any hel would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Martin
