Re: Additional cursor movement keys (was Re: TN5250 0.16.2 released!) -- LINUX5250

thanks Scott,

I am getting there... slowly.... I've established I need glib/glib-devel (I
thought I glibc-devel was the same thing)

I downloaded an rpm for glib and it's not installing, and i'm wondering about
isntalling the mandrake source code and compiling that.

As always in Linux, one step forward and a dozen steps back...
