nethack 3.1.3: throwing messes up screen

[Peter Mutsaers]

Hello,

I just installed nethack 3.1.3 (I had 3.1.0 before, without this
problem) and now when I throw something or a monster does, the screen
is messed up. Next to the path where the object is thrown ,the signs
$<50> appear. This is on Linux by the way.
Is this a known problem? Did I make some wrong choice in unixconf.h?

Thanks,

This configuration problem is discussed in the installation notes,
sys/unix/Install.unx. It's the result of compiling for termcap but
linking with the terminfo library (or vice versa; I never remember which
is which). TERMLIB in your makefile doesn't match unixconf.h's.

Bugs in NetHack should be reported to nethac...@linc.cis.upenn.edu,
which may have had some mail delivery problems last week but seems to be
fixed now. NetHack is also the primary topic in newsgroup "rec.games.hack".
