Waitaminute, what version are you using?  You should see a lib5250 in there
(since the middle of the 0.13.x series the core functionality was moved to
a library), and no libstdc++ (since the beginning of the 0.13.x series, tn5250
is written in C, not C++).

Make sure you are using 0.14.x or (if you're more the bleeding-edge type)
0.15.x, you can obtain these downloads from the CVS server's tn5250 homepage,
as well as Michael Madore's ftp account.  The CVS server's page is
http://cvs.cleveland.lug.net/module.pl?module=tn5250  Mike's ftp account
is 
ftp://ftp.blarg.net/users/mmadore/

If you are trying to install a recent version, make sure that any previous
versions have been removed.
