So, I don't understand this at all. I didn't make any changes, just went in to recompile an application that uses tview -- and bam. doesn't work, and I get this error. I have no idea what went wrong, and I was hoping ya'll might know.

Thanks!!

tcell.LookupTerminfo is a function defined in the github.com/gdamore/tcell package. It sounds like there is some issue with your application's go.mod maybe. It's hard to say without more information. In any case, the version for tcell should be v2.6.0.

Thank you -- I have seen go.mod do some weird stuff. This was one of them. I couldn't figure it out, and really that part of the code was pretty old, and nobody used it anyway so ... I just removed it. My other tview stuff works great tho!
