The error is caused by Matlab's inability to locate a terminfo database, which by default should reside in /usr/share/terminfo. I have developed a matlab-installer script and port which could install a terminfo database, but there are probably other Linux applications suffering the same fate, so it would probably be better to have it in linux_base. >How-To-Repeat: 1) Install Matlab. (Installer scripts available at http://personalpages.tds.net/~jwbacon/Ports/distfiles/) 2) matlab -nodesktop >Fix: Install a terminfo database at /compat/linux/usr/share/terminfo. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
