Mac OS X

• xterm-color error using Terminal.app

  By default, Mac’s Terminal.app application declares itself to be of terminal type “xterm-color”. You can change this by changing Terminal.app’s default.

  Go to Terminal’s Preferences

  

  Change “xterm-color” to “xterm”.
  

  Alternatively, one can change their terminal type from the command line by typing:

  setenv TERM xterm

  (if that doesn’t work, try export TERM=xterm)
