OSX problems

[Scotttheking]

so much for finding all the bugs in the linux version.

In OSX you can't start a client in screen

Error opening terminal: screen.

This is not a bug. On Mac OSX you must have your terminal set to vt100 (this is required by the curses library). You may be able to do it in quiet mode (-qt) but I wont swear to it.

It worked fine with the old client, and it also works now if I don't use screen, as well as working on linux with screen.

I'm not sure what I'm missing here, but I'll poke around.

You're not listening. On Mac OSX your TERM environment variable MUST be set to 'xterm' or 'vt100'. It appears yours is set to 'screen'. It will NOT work unless it is set to one of these. If you want it to work with screen, you need to make a subdirectory called 's' and put the 'screen' terminfo file there. If you don't know what I'm talking about then just get curses and it comes with a bunch of terminfo files.
