The vte package contains a termcap file implementation for terminal emulators.

vte depends on:
Python-2.2.2 and GTK+-2.2.1

Installation of vte

Install vte by running the following commands:

./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/sbin --disable-gtk-doc &&
make &&
make install

Command explanations

--libexecdir=/usr/sbin : This switch puts libexec files in /usr/sbin instead of /usr/libexec.

--disable-gtk-doc : This switch prevents the building of documentation as the directories are currently empty and will cause errors in the make command if this switch is missing.
