Tmux: terminfo suggested in FAQ causes SIGSEGV in tic

[alexpearce]

If I copy the code below in to a file, say tmux+tmux-256color.terminfo, then tic -x tmux+tmux-256color.terminfo crashes:

tmux|tmux terminal multiplexer,
    ritm=\E[23m, rmso=\E[27m, sitm=\E[3m, smso=\E[7m, Ms@,
    use=xterm+tmux, use=screen,

tmux-256color|tmux with 256 colors,
    use=xterm+256setaf, use=tmux,

The exact error from running tic -x tmux+tmux-256color.terminfo in a fish shell is:

'tic -x tmux+tmux-256color.termi…' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

I get Segmentation fault: 11 when the command is run from bash. I am running OS X 10.11.1, with tmux 2.1 installed via Homebrew.

The same crash occurs if I split the two terminfos up in to multiple files, say tmux.terminfo and tmux-256color.terminfo.

I can get the tic command to work if I delete Ms@, from the tmux definition and +256setaf from the tmux-256color definition, but I think this changes the functionality.

I expect your terminfo is too old and doesn't have the bits these entries need either.

The only other machine I have access to right now runs Scientific Linux 6, and there I get:

"tmux.terminfo", line 3, terminal 'tmux': resolution of use=xterm+tmux failed

which certainly sounds like something else is missing on my local (OS X) install.

Do you have an idea how I could ‘update’ my terminfo database? I can't see anything super obvious after a quick Google.

It is usually part of ncurses. Or just use this one:

Installing this term type works fine. I can't say I fully understand what's missing on my OS X install, but OK, it's a mystery I'm willing to live with.

Thank you!
