 Posted: Fri Feb 16, 2018 6:46 pm Post subject: Nethack curses interface |
 |
|
I have nethack-3.6.0-r3 installed, but the curses interface is not available. How do I enable it?
Thanks.
| Code: | 1 fatty:0.0 /home/brundage % nethack
Window type curses not recognized. Choices are:
tty
X11
|
| Code: | 0 fatty:0.0 /root # equery u nethack
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]
[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for games-roguelike/nethack-3.6.0-r3:
U I
+ + X : Add support for X11
+ + experimental : Enable experimental features (showscore and status_hilite) |

Works fine here, I don't have use flag experimental enabled though, maybe that matters maybe not.
Maybe the shell matters, interesting prompt you have there, which shell is that ? |

Thanks for the suggestions kajzer. I can use the tty interface just fine, but not the curses one. I enabled the experimental USE flag to see if that got me the curses interface.
Nethack is linked against curses too.
| Code: | 0 fatty:0.0 /root # ldd /usr/lib64/nethack/nethack
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd8456a000)
libncurses.so.6 => /lib64/libncurses.so.6 (0x00007f27c3abd000)
|
I'm using zsh with this PS1
| Code: | | export PS1="%? %{^[[1;32m%}%m${DISPLAY}%{^[[0m%} %2C %% " |
Same result in bash and bourne shell. |

| Ah. It's an add-on for nethack 3.4.3, not part of the official distribution. Derp |

I'm sorry, I misunderstood, wasn't aware of Curses interface for this game so I confused curses with tty.
Curses interface is not working in my case either, with same error message.
Addon seems to be a patch, but for 3.4.3 version only, at least from that Wiki page it seems to be like that. |

Hey past-me: did you ever get this working? How? I'm back playing nethack and the boring ASCII interface is boring.

i'm not past-you  , but i'm wondering whether you might try modifying the ebuild to point to 3.6.7, since the page you linked to suggests that version has the curses interface enabled as an alternative? |

I'll give that a shot, thanks for the suggestion.
