Usually this happens when bash can't find what it wants in your terminal
database (terminfo or termcap).  This in turn is typically caused by one
of two things:

 * When you compiled, bash couldn't find your terminal libraries.  In
   this case, try installing the -dev or -devel packages for your
   operating system's terminal libraries (e.g. libncurses5-dev).

 * At run time, bash can't find a terminfo/termcap entry for your $TERM
   variable.  In this case, check that TERM is set correctly.  See if
   you can run "infocmp".
