    Probably it doesn't find the terminfo database. I guess the executable was
    compiled on another machine? Running tnos with strace might reveal where
    it expects to find the database and then you can add a symbolic link
    there. For example on one box I had to do

     ln -s /usr/share/terminfo /usr/local/lib/terminfo

    to get some old stuff running after upgrading the system. Possible places
    for where the database is and/or where tnos searches for it are /usr/lib,
    /usr/share, /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/share at least.
