ncurses portability

        I installed ncurses on my Linux 2.0.28 system and am using it to
work on a project involving an ircii/emacs type interface. ncurses is
really easy and has suited my task well so far but I didn't realize it was
for linux/bsd mostly and there's no mention of portability to systems such
as IRIX, Solaris 2, etc.
        I attempted to compile/test ncurses on an SGI IRIX 6.2 system. It
compiled perfect but if I ran any of the test programs it gives me:

Error opening terminal: vt100.

        Anyone know what's going on? btw, 'vt100' is what's in my TERM
env variable.
