emacs cannot open termcap database file
 
Can anyone help advise what I should do for the below error? I did some googling but didnot get any clue on how to fix this. Thanks.

[root@vmtest51 ~]# emacs

Initially, I'd suggest you stop running emacs as root.
To tell you anything more, I think we'd have to know what distro you're using (since they implement $TERMCAP differently) and what kind of terminal emacs is coming up in.

Thank you for your reply. Does the below information has distro? And I am using Putty to connect.

It's proprietary. I would suggest you ask Oracle what's to be done about it.
