correctly setting terminal in SunOS for vim
skeept
I am trying to use vim in a computer sunos computer
uname -a:
SunOS cmc01 5.10 Generic_142910-17 i86pc i386 i86pc
At this point I was able to compile ncurses, screen and vim.
I can only login to the machine from the work laptop.
If ssh into the machine and use vim with the vim setting t_Co=256 then the colors
are good.
If when on the machine I start screen then after starting vim I cannot see anything. If unset t_Co in my .vimrc then I can see but with no colors.
I also set the variable
export TERMINFO=~/scratch/packages2/lib/terminfo
(I have the packages installed under scratch/packages2/).
I understand that this is not a vim problem since as I mentioned I can use nice colors if I am not inside screen, but I really like to use it with conjunction with screen.
If someone has any ideas on how to fix that please let me know.
Regards,
Jorge

bash works for the "~" expansion - but it depends on the shell whether that works.
Also, it's possible that screen is linked to the legacy termcap library on
Solaris rather than /usr/lib/termcap (which sym-links to libcurses). You
can check that using ldd. If it's linked to the legacy termcap library,
you can't use TERMINFO to fix it.
In screen (unless you have overridden TERM), env will show the TERMCAP
variable, which gives screen's notion of whatever (termcap or terminfo)
it is using.

Thanks for the info.
ldd screen shows
libcurses.so.1 => /lib/libcurses.so.1
also each new screen session I start has the TERMCAP variable defined to
TERMCAP=SC|vt100|VT 100/ANSI X3.64 virtual terminal:\

based on this any suggestions on how I can configure it correctly or how I can tell it to give me better capabilities?
Thanks!

I noticed that the linking step when compiling was done with:
cc -o screen screen.o ansi.o fileio.o mark.o misc.o resize.o socket.o search.o tty.o term.o window.o utmp.o loadav.o putenv.o help.o termcap.o input.o attacher.o pty.o process.o display.o comm.o kmapdef.o acls.o braille.o braille_tsi.o logfile.o layer.o sched.o teln.o nethack.o encoding.o -lcurses -lelf -lsocket -lnsl -lkstat -lcrypt
I simply replaced -lcurses by -lncurses and now I have nice colors in vim :)
