****************************************************************************** BSW Electronic Mail 03-Sep-1998 17:35:04 CET Message Number 0034 ****************************************************************************** Author: James Johnson Subject: LINUX selection list problem Subject: LINUX selection list problem I have been using the standard distribution of Bernese 4.0 on Linux Red Hat 5.0 with only minor problems with the menu system. The problems that I have are that some of the character highlighting does not work right and sometimes selection lists (using the space bar to change options) act a little strange, but none of the problems make the menu system unusable. I use curses rather than ncurses, you might try to use this as your LIBRARIES definition in $X/EXE/CLPGM: "LINUX" ) LIBRARIES="-lMEN${VERSION} -lGPS${VERSION} -lCOM${VERSION} -lAST${VERSION} \ -lcurses -ltermcap" ;; I have also found that some of the fancy xwindows terminal programs don't work very well (such as nxterm) with the menu system, I always use a generic xterm for the menu system and this seems to help. Setting your TERM variable can also have an effect, if I set the following: [johnson@ricci jjohnson]$ export TERM=vt100 the menu system behaves itself better except that I only get to use the first 24 lines of the screen. I hope this helps. -Jim BSW MAIL SERVER wrote: > > ****************************************************************************** > BSW Electronic Mail 03-Sep-1998 11:36:17 CET Message Number 0033 > ****************************************************************************** > > Author: Yannick Peter > Subject: RE:LINUX selection list problem > > On 01-Sep-98 Pierre Sauve wrote: > > > I am using Caldera Open Linux and have found that whenever a selection list > > is to be displayed, there is no "clear screen" beforehand.
