You must have an entry for "iris-ansi" in your termcap file. You can
specify the location of your termcap file with the TERMCAP environment
variable. If this variable is not set, the default file is usually
/etc/termcap.
If you don't have a termcap file, you can use the Informix one
(TERMCAP=$INFORMIXDIR/etc/termcap), but I don't think it will have an
entry for iris-ansi.
