Yeah, the problem is I am on OSX, and I actually had to compile scdoc myself without the -static flag (missing libraries).

Also, I had to run it as:

  TERM=xterm-256color aerc

On OSX, otherwise got:

  panic: terminal entry not found

To get this to install on osx

1. git clone https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/scdoc

2. Edit Makefile and remove -static flag from ldflags

3. make install

4. git clone https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/aerc

5. make install

You will need Go 1.12

This issue comes from tcell, which has a baked-in terminfo database. I'm also not sure about the state of the terminfo database in general on OSX... in any case, I plan on improving terminfo support in tcell at some point.

It's probably because i use xterm-kitty.

Awesome work on aerc, looking forward for continued development.

Can confirm, am running Kitty too and ran into exact same error messages, exporting different TERM environment variable did fix this though!
