Greetings,

I am setting up backuppc 3.2 from the tar file on a CentOS 5.5 server.
The server is dedicated to backuppc and does nothing else.
I'm using rsync, have the cgi interface working and can 'ssh
backuppc@taurus' (i.e. as user backuppc ssh to the server itself
(taurus) and to the other computers on the network). SSH is operating
on passwordless keys.

Running the command:
./BackupPC_dump -v -f taurus
produces the error:
Fatal error (bad version): setterm: $TERM is not defined.
$TERM *is* defined (as xterm) for all users (root, some_normal_user
and the backuppc user)

Don't quite know what to try next ... ??

Output below:
