Details
When accessing a server, running Arch Linux, via ssh from a
rxvt-unicode terminal on a workstation, applications that
use ncurses fail with "Error opening terminal:
rxvt-unicode." Yes, 'export TERM=xterm-color' is a fix, but
it seems to me, I've been wrong before :), that the ideal
fix is to add rxvt-unicode to ncurses. Thank you.

The easiest fix (that I use with random machines I ssh to) is to copy localhost:/usr/share/terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode to remote-machine:~/.terminfo/r/rxvt-unicode
This is, sadly enough, one of the big problems with using rxvt-unicode - it is not widely supported as far as terminfo goes.
