Scott is no slouch, so if x5250 can't find it then it is probably a problem with x5250. Use Scott's solution which posted a few minutes ago or install tn5250 in /usr. I always use the second option. If you want to install in /usr just build tn5250 like this: ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install That will put lib5250 in /usr/lib and x5250 will have no problem finding it. For the curious, here is how I always configure the build of tn5250: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib/tn5250 This allows me to put a system wide tn5250rc file in /etc which makes it feel a little more like a standard UNIX installation. Of course, this is all personal preference. Or read Scott's post and set up your environment the way he does before configuring x5250.
