1) might be curses not properly detecting your terminal type. Running it inside a screen session sometimes helps with this. If you're using PuTTY as a terminal, make sure to set its charset to UTF-8.
2) MPBM probably expects a trailing slash here... I'll fix that later today.
Your fix to (2) is worked, thanks. Its now mining like a champ.
Re UTF-8 issues: my first problem was i am using xterm, which needs to be started in utf-8 mode like this:
xterm -u8
If i run MPBM within xterm -u8, i get nice pretty graphics.
Now when I try to run it within screen (within that xterm -u8), I now get strange characters. (even using screen -U , which forces UTF-8)
As a test, running this should result a capital O with circumflex.
perl -le 'print "\x{d4}"'And what i'm seeing without screen, and within:
Heres my locale:
$ locale
LANG=en_AU.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_AU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
so I'm stumped. I'm running it outside of screen for the time being, and its working beautifully, but if anyone has any clues to fix the utf-8 problem i'm having with screen, I'd love to hear them.
