nano will not work in chroot folder

I run a chroot on a /var/www/ everything is OK but nano wont work

I copied it's binary to /var/www/bin and libreries to /var/www/lib

but when nano some file i got this error : 

Error opening terminal: xterm.

What should I do

Solution

  • This is just a hunch but try running which xterm outside of the chroot and make sure that binary is accessible inside the chroot.

    For example, on my Mac the path is: 

    bash-4.3$ which xterm
/opt/X11/bin/xterm
