Screen 3.7.1 builds fine under linux. However there is a problem with bash as distributed with some versions of slackware. If screen's configure process dies with the error configure: no tgetent no screen Then it means you are running a broken version of bash and should upgrade. Latest release is bash-1.14.7 from ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/bash-1.14.7.tar.gz This also fixes a number of security holes in older versions of bash.
