Newer versions of filePro ( 5.0.15 and higher) shouldn't rely on libtermcap. filePro hasn't been linked to use libtermcap for awhile now. It can still read and parse termcap files, but it has its own built in parser.

If you are unsure if the version requires it or not. Any of the programs can be checked using `ldd` and `readelf -d` to show the list of libraries that are required to load the application.

ldd will show all of the libraries required when loading an application while readelf will only show the direct dependencies.

Here is a listing of required libraries for the current Linux version of filePro (6.0):

     libpthread.so
     librt.so
     libodbc.so
     libxml2.so
     libz.so
     libstdc++.so
     libm.so
     libgcc_s.so
     libc.so

filePro (5.8) also requires libfpodbc.so, which is packaged with the installer.

Going back through previous versions, starting with 5.0.15, libtermcap is no longer required. Previous versions would have the compatibility issue.
