[bash] error : trouble reading termcap after installing some ports

[Bill Hernandez]

All,

I installed a number of items with MacPorts after doing a clean  
install on my workstation, and everything has gone very well so far.

After installing all the ports listed below, I have run into an error  
every time I use the Terminal (bash).

The error message is : "trouble reading termcap" which I have  
googled, without much solid luck.

Any ideas how I can fix this error message ?

Best Regards,

I will post some info in reference to how well the install went, and  
some minor points I ran into. Hopefully I will get my website up and  
going again, but I am still fiddling with my network and my new  
firewall and trying to re-configure apache to work correctly with ip  
based virtual hosting and ssl, pgsql and mysql, and trying to get vpn  
working on my new SonicWall TZ 180 Wireless. My SonicWall experience  
has been quite a trip. When I was trying to get pre-sales info from   
a number of sources I was substantially misled ( I don't think it was  
intentional, I just think there are so many options available that  
it's hard to figure out exactly what options are really included with  
each variation of packages vs what options you need, or want), in  
terms of the hardware requirements, what software/capability, what  
licensing options, etc. I thought I might document all this in case  
it might help someone else...

Anyway, back to MacPorts, the primary ports I wanted were :

   apache2 @2.2.4_0+openldap (active)
   php5 @5.2.2_0+apache2+darwin_8+fastcgi+macosx+mysql5+pear 
+postgresql+sqlite (active)
   postgresql82 @8.2.4_0+darwin_8 (active)
   mysql5 @5.0.41_0+darwin_8+server (active)
