When I first got my router and loaded OpenWrt on it the first package that I installed was iftop.  I was new (newer) at this then and was just fooling around looking at the various packages.  I wound up re-flashing OpwnWrt after I had severely borked it, losing iftop and a few other nifty packages.  I just tried to re-load iftop and the installation goes without errors.  However, when I try and execute the program I get the following:

$ iftop
interface: br0
IP address is: 192.168.1.1
MAC address is: 00:13:10:xx:xx:xx (edited)
Open RING [fd=-1]
Error opening terminal: xterm.

Any idea?  I have tried to remove the package and all its dependencies but still get the error.

Thank you,

Answering my own question, again tongue.  I installed the terminfo package and then added the following line to my /etc/profile.

export TERMINFO=/usr/share/terminfo
