   I'm trying to build EMACS.18.44 on a SUN-4.  I've had no problem getting it
to run under ULTRIX, SUN-3 and VMS, but for the SUN4 "temacs" complains with

        Please set the environment variable TERM; see tset(1).

It IS already set.

   When i build a c program which calls "getenv", i get back, as expected, a
non-zero value.  When this same (or what i believe to be the same) code 
executes in "init_display" (display.c) the value returned by "getenv" is zero.

   Since i had no s-sun4.h or m-sun4.h, i used the BSD4.3 with the m-sun3.h.
Is this the source of the problem?  Has anyone who has done this successfully
please let me know what to do, please?
