Re: tn5250rc (was Re: thinknic)

Look in src/config.h and src/tn5250-config.h for the section that says:

/* Define this to the system config directory. */
#define SYSCONFDIR "${prefix}/etc"

On my system, that line is the problem.  It really should read
/usr/local/etc instead of ${prefix}/etc. Presumably, this is a bug in the
configure script or in autoconf...  just changing this and recompiling
solves the problem.

Are you having the same problem, or a different one?
