Thanks for letting us know. This is a nice enhancement to BL3. One thing I
should report and have been able to confirm on the testbed BL3 (the qemu
version) I set up to test the naim you compiled: naim fails to start in an
xterm. It gets to the point in its startup routine where it checks for

The BL3 xterm is actually rxvt. Have you tried a Slackware 4 xterm?

Someone else using Puppy Linux had a color support problem. COLORS=0 COLOR_PAIRS=0 Checking for enough colors... failed
Puppy linux appears to also use rxvt.

I think it needs 256 colors (8-bit). You can compile rxvt with this color support. Maybe BL3's rxvt does not have it?

configure --enable-256-color (but this is for Cygwin rxvt)

You can report problems with the front end to Daniel Reed maintainer (colors, buddy windows, .naimrc). Or subscribe to the mailing list.

Is this the latest version of naim? They fixed some bug having to do with ncurses and colors in 0.11.7.2.


color support (enabling color support... failed), which fails, after which
it will not start. As I mentioned last night, naim works fine from a
console/tty, though. Don't know if there's a fix for the color enabling
issue so naim can be run under X. If not people should be made aware that
they will need to run the program on the console.
