As I've mentioned on a previous post to the list, the binary RHIDE 1.4 RPM
looks for the terminfo database in /usr/share/terminfo, but (at least on
Red Hat Linux and most UNIX'es I've seen) the terminfo database is
actually stored in /usr/lib/terminfo.

A simple fix is (as root)

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

BTW: RHIDE now works fine on the console, but it looks terrible under an
XTerm. Also, you have to do "stty sane" after quitting, because it leaves
the console in a bad state.
