I got the source tree from CVS for Emacs 23. When I tried to make it with --prefix=/home/marloque/emacs It compiled perfectly, but when I ran it it complained about not being able to find the termcap. So I made it without a prefix and it did successfully install, but upon execution still had the error. Then when I tried to run the Emacs from Debian's apt, which had worked before this, the same error occurred. I reinstalled Debian and haven't touched the CVS source since. What's this about? Is this a common error? --Marloque
