hnb doesn't work with colored output

hnb doesn't seem to use terminal colors. I've tried Konsole and urxvt, and neither of there work. hnb basicaly only uses default foreground and background color, which makes its use really confusing.

It doesn't seem to be a problem with shell or terminal emulator, because everything else which uses colored output works like it's suppose to. I've tried reinstalling but it didn't help. I've tried looking through ~/.hnbrc, but it only confirms that it should be using colors.

Is it some arch specific bug? Some missing flag in pkgbuild? Only mine issue?  How should go about solving it?

$ uname -roms
Linux 4.3.3-3-ARCH x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ hnb -v
hnb 1.9.17

Thanks for any info

Re: hnb doesn't work with colored output

Please post the output of

echo $TERM

for both Konsole and urxvt.

Re: hnb doesn't work with colored output

That seems to be (almost¹) fine.
To be honest, I just installed it, and it segfaults, no matter whether it's in urxvt or in a VTE terminal (sakura). So... I can't help any further for the moment.

¹ It's a little awkward that Konsole would set `screen` as it's TERM variable, but I don't really know those KDE applications, so maybe it's just fine.
