Yeah, sorry, I forgot that you asked me that.  

This was my old command for 4.5.55:
./configure --with-tm-x-support --with-vfs --with-samba \
--with-termnet=no --with-sunos-curses=no --with-osf1-curses=no \
--with-vcurses=no --with-terminfo --with-subshell --with-slang \
--with-ncurses=no --with-edit --with-netrc=no \
--with-ext2undel=no --with-gpm-mouse --with-gnome=no

And this is my current one:
./configure --with-tm-x-support --with-vfs --with-terminfo \
--with-subshell --with-slang --with-edit --with-gpm-mouse

You brought up the terminfo/termcap issue, which has puzzled
me for quite a while.  A while back I was under the impression
that termcap was slowly being phased out in favor of the
terminfo directory, and frankly I've never even tried compiling
with termcap.  Although, now I see that I have a 705k
termcap in /etc, I'll try it out...

Cheers.
