Indeed CSWncurses expects it to be a symbolic link as it says.  What
is is on your machine?

$ ls -ld /opt/csw/lib/terminfo
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         17 Aug  9  2006 /opt/csw/lib/terminfo 
-> ../share/terminfo


What else might have cause this to be a directory?

$ pkgchk -l -p /opt/csw/lib/terminfo
Pathname: /opt/csw/lib/terminfo
Type: symbolic link
Source of link: ../share/terminfo
Referenced by the following packages:
	CSWncurses     
Current status: installed



I suspect CSWmlterm.
