>Description:
I need the terminfo database to run MS FoxPro Unix. In the past (6.2 and earlier)I installed ncurses by going to /usr/src/contrib/ncurses and typing './configure' [Enter].

The 'configure' output stops with the message :
config.status: error: cannot find input file: test/Makefile.in

As a workaround I have imported the terminfo database files from a 6.2 system.
>How-To-Repeat:
See above.
>Fix:
None known.
