I am trying to compile BitchX.  The install seems to work and everything, I
get a binary, but when i try to load it, I get this:

BitchX - Based on EPIC Software Labs epic ircII (1998).
Version (BitchX-1.0c16) -- Date (19990221).
Process [6853]
Using terminal type [vt220]
setupterm failed: 0
So we'll be running in dumb mode...

Then it dumps me back to the prompt.  Does anyone have any experience with
it?

thanks in advance
