Re: [Mlterm-dev-en] [Mlterm-dev-ja] cannot invoke MLTERM on NetBSD based terminal with X

Hello, 

I'm by no means an expert, but I had a similar problem originally (I
would install mlterm and try to launch it, but nothing would happen, and
the msg.log file would say "Could not open screen"). I found that
downloading the mlterm source from SourceForge and compiling and
installing locally solved the problem. 

As far as I can tell, the issue that I had was the mlterm requires some
files to be installed in /usr/local/share and /user/local/lib, which
my package manager (Entropy, on Sabayon Linux) wasn't installing. The
manual install, on the other hand, correctly installed all of them. 

Lastly: this is the Japanese language list. I've copied my response to
the English list (mlt...@li... if I'm not
mistaken) to avoid continuing to violate the language rule. 

Good luck!

Thanks.
I have tried to set LC_CTYPE = "ja_JP.UTF-8", then mlterm started correctly.
(previous setting is LC_CTYPE = "ja_JP.euc", which may prevent its invoking, 
I think.)

However, some programs (ex.: platex) are SO SLOWLY, on mlterm.
Scrolling(?) or processing(?) is so slow, on mlterm.
On ohter terminal (ex.: xterm, kterm), such programs work appropriately with
enough speed.

What's wrong?, or it's mlterm's specification?

I run mlterm, built from pkgsrc, on NetBSD-current, and it works well
for me. One problem you might be encountering is that mlterm will exit
if LC_CTYPE is not set. I suggest running "printenv" and checking the
values of DISPLAY and LC_CTYPE.

Hmmm. I've never seen that behaviour before. Perhaps someone else can
comment. It might be helpful to tell us the value of $TERM within your
mlterm.

 Please try to build mlterm with --disable-otl option. (-otl for pkgsrc)
 (See https://twitter.com/arakiken/status/778949134883495936 and related tweets.)

 This problem has been already fixed on hg head.
