For no apparent reason I have encountered an irreconcilable error when trying to work in vi: one second it was fine, and the next second it was broken... Whenever I try to run it, regardless of what user (I've tried a few, including root) I run as, or *where* I run, it *ALWAYS* refuses to run, complaining as follows: Error: tigetnum: lines: No such file or directory ex/vi: Error: unknown: no such file or directory What file or diectory could it be looking for??? /tmp has about 40mb to play with, as do most of the others. I have made *no* changes to my file trees prior to this event... <help!> TIA J.A.
