I installed Midnight Commander into my Cygwin environment, but it's not working. Can anyone help me figure out what's going wrong?

Here's what I'm seeing: 

$ mc
Error opening terminal: xterm.
$ mc -U
Error opening terminal: xterm.

Here's the version information for mc:

$ mc -V
  GNU Midnight Commander 4.6.1
  Virtual File System: tarfs, extfs, cpiofs, ftpfs, fish
  With builtin Editor
  Using the ncurses library
  With optional subshell support
  With mouse support on xterm
  With support for X11 events

...and here's the version of Cygwin: 

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 c40920j 1.7.7(0.230/5/3) 2010-08-31 09:58 i686 Cygwin

Thanks in advance!

You might see this error if your copy of xterm is missing; you should find it under:

/usr/share/terminfo/x/xterm
