Hi Cyril,

The new 2.6.1 minicom is installed at /usr/local/bin/minicom, your
current distribution version, 2.5 is probably installed at
/usr/bin/minicom. Because of the way your PATH variable is written,
your shell finds the 2.5 version first when you launch minicom.

Either specify the absolute path to the version you want to run when
starting minicom, or remove the 2.5 version from your system.

Cheers,

Mark
