Re: Running TN5250 outside of terminal

Ok, it's in /etc. However, it doesn't seem to like the font directives.

Hi Mark,

Do you know which folder your lib5250 is installed into?   Do you have a
  /usr/local/lib/lib5250.so.0?   Or /usr/lib/lib5250.so.0?  or
/lib/lib5250.so.0?   (Or perhaps it's just lib5250.so, or perhaps it's
lib5250.a)

Not exactly sure where it would be in Ubuntu, since I don't use that.
But see if you can figure out where it is...   once you've found it, do
this:

strings /usr/local/lib/lib5250.so.0 | grep tn5250rc

This should give you a clue as to which folder it's looking into for the
  tn5250rc file.   On most systems, it'll either be /etc/tn5250rc or
/usr/local/etc/tn5250rc -- anything else would be very unusual.

also, you can have your own local copy in your home directory named
.tn5250rc

I hope "strings" works on Linux -- I know it does on FreeBSD, and would
expect Linux to be the same.
