Try setting the environment variable TERMINFO.  You will need to
export it as well.  The TERMINFO variable should be set with the
directory which you wish to specify in place or /usr/lib/terminfo.
This means, that for a VT100 terminal, instead of looking in
/usr/lib/terminfo/v/vt100, the terminfo file should be found in
$TERMINFO/v/vt100.  Notice that you must create the "v" directory
under your ${TERMINFO} directory, and place the terminfo file in it.
