Hi,       
   Not knowing in what situation you got the error message,  the following
may not help much.  
   I compiled GRASS4.1 on Linux with the following options:
   1) when run utils/setup, I used -ltermcap for TERMLIB
   2) I used the SLS release of Linux with X-windows.
   3) after compile XDRIVER, debug XDRIVER first before run grass4.1.
   4) make sure you are running X-windows in VGA256 mode.

   Again, I need to know more about the situation when you got the error 
message.  For example, is is when you run setup? or when you compile? or
when you run XDRIVER?  Wish I knew the specifics so that I can be of
more help.
