I think it's more like a postgresql-bug that it detect termcap, but can your patch it somehow? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
sorry for being late. I agree with you. I've just added postgresql-7.4.5-r1 which wouldn't use termcap library. It seems ok. Can you also try that? I'm going to patch to 7.3.7 as well later.
