IDA does not work inside the screen

Question

I try to run idal64 (IDA pro) inside a screen session, but I get this error:

TVision error: Can not load libcurses.so
    Without libcurses can work only with xterm/linux
Aborted (core dumped)

I installed "libncurses5-dev", "libncursesw5-dev", "lib32ncurses5-dev" and "libx32ncurses5-dev", but nothing has changed.

This library is correctly installed:

#find / -name libcurses.so
/usr/lib32/libcurses.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurses.so
/lib/libcurses.so
/lib64/libcurses.so
/lib32/libcurses.so

My car information:

Linux 3.13.0-49-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 10 20:11:33 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It is strange that the IDA works correctly off-screen. Any idea?

I ran into the same problem as idal in tmux and decided that

env TERM=xterm /path/to/idal

working on this issue for 32 bit idal. Didn't try idal64, but I expect this to work for you too.
