HI guys

Nice to see that it was a good conversation  :)

I found the source code and the way to generate the /etc/termcap
database . This fixed the problem I had

The source code is here :

http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/termcap/terminfo.src.bz2/a80c9456d1fe810c4f55188e28fc6ff4/terminfo.src.bz2

They way you build is
+bzcat terminfo.src.bz2 > /etc/termcap.src
+tic -C /etc/termcap.src > /etc/termcap

And there you are :)

 I hope this work for someone else how is facing the same problem that I had.

If I am doing something wrong please send me your feedback

Regards

Victor Rodriguez
