But your comment seems to indicate that putty is working properly and dtterm is not (with ncurses, iirc). (dtterm has its own set of bugs - I only recall that scrolling doesn't work).I had to add -lcurses to LDFLAGS for Solaris (using Sun's standard libs) or would get undefined symbols.
That's because of the header conflict in the older packages for ncurses.The recommendation for installing ncurses on Solaris is using the --disable-overwrite, which would put the headers for example in
/usr/local/include/ncurses/
The configure script used to force this whenever the prefix was
/usr/local, but packages put it in /opt/sfw, confusing the configure
script. It sets --disable-overwrite now when prefix isn't /usr
(of course some application configure scripts don't look in /usr/local/include/ncurses, but that's a different problem)
