If you still get this error after fixing the other problem, delete the
file ~/.grassrc5 before trying again.

Which version of GRASS are you using? The 5.0.0 and 5.0.1 binaries
may have inadvertently used termcap, so you might need an entry for
xterm in /etc/termcap. 5.0.2 should use terminfo, in which case you
should have a terminfo entry for xterm (i.e. a file called
/usr/lib/terminfo/x/xterm or /usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm).

To be safe, ensure that you have complete termcap and terminfo
databases installed. I recall that Slackware used to provide a choice
between minimal or full termcap/terminfo databases; if this is still
the case, ensure that you have the full version.
