ELM 2.2PL16 compiled straight away, with very few changes if any.  The
source of the error you mentioned is that someone put the termcap file
in /lib/termcap/termcap.src or something like that.  A "find /lib -name
*termcap* -print" will find it for you.

Do the planet a favor and call Defect Support and open an APAR against
this problem.  The termcap file belongs in /etc/termcap, not some silly
hiding place.
