Comment 1 richard 1999-11-09 11:40:59 UTC 
I had an exact duplicate of this error (infact, emacs --version dies
similairly) - Installing emacs 20.4.1 (from ftp.emacs.org) and
libtermcap-2.0.8-15.i386.rpm appears to, erm, 'fix', the problem.

I'm not too sure that libtermcap is necessary or related though.

This is fixed in 6.1 and 6.2.
