If so, I can prepare a patch this weekend. =E2=80=98TERMINFO_DIRS=E2=80=99 is a search path of ncurses. However, beca= use search paths of dependencies are not honored, it doesn=E2=80=99t get set: https://bugs.gnu.org/22138 This is what we should fix. It would feel wrong to add =E2=80=98TERMINFO_DIRS=E2=80=99 as a search path= of dvtm and everything that depends on ncurses. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
