Okay, when I try to install my newly created RPM, here's what happens:

[root@bcserv4 i386]# rpm -i tn5250-0.16.4-1.i386.rpm
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.89778: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `fi'
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.89778: line 1: `if which tic>/dev/null 2>&1; tic
/usr/share/tn5250/5250.terminfo >/dev/null 2>&1; fi
error: execution of %post scriptlet from tn5250-0.16.4-1 failed, exit status 2

And now that I've done that, I get this:

[root@bcserv4 i386]# ls /usr/local/bin/tn5250
ls: /usr/local/bin/tn5250: No such file or directory
[root@bcserv4 i386]# rpm -i tn5250-0.16.4-1.i386.rpm
package tn5250-0.16.4-1 is already installed
[root@bcserv4 i386]# rpm -e tn5250-0.16.4-1.i386.rpm
error: package tn5250-0.16.4-1.i386.rpm is not installed

I have no idea how to fix this :)  (I know nothing about RPMs)
