This tells ld.so to look in /usr/local/lib for shared libraries:
echo "/usr/local/lib" >>/etc/ld.so.conf
/sbin/ldconfig

tn5250 itself doesn't need to resolve the location of the library at run time
since it does so at install time.

Or you could just say ./configure --prefix=/usr when you make and compile
tn5250 (I know, I hate that too).

No, common problem (I'm surprised I haven't heard complaints about it yet).
I'm still surprised that some distributions (at least RedHat) don't look for
shared libraries in /usr/local/lib by default.

Hmm, David?  My suspicion is that it doesn't like letters and numbers in the
same keyword - I've had some search engines do that to me before.  This one
seemed pretty good, though.
