Subject: Cannot open termcap database file for emacs?
Date: 30 Jul 2005 10:48:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1122745711.408528.87540@g43g2000cwa.googlegroups.com> (raw)

I'm using Ubuntu Hoary. I tried to install emacs via source.

emacs is definitely installed because a man page comes up when I type
"man emacs".

However, if I try to run emacs, it gives me this error message in bash:

emacs: Cannot open termcap database file

Why can't I run emacs?
