Re: compiling on iSeries

[Scott Klement <tn5250@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

These error messages seem to imply that Curses wasn't compiled correctly. 
TN5250 assumes that libcurses is available as a dynamically linked shared 
object, but your copy wasn't compiled in a manner that allows dynamic 
linking.

I'm wondering why you'd want to run the curses version of TN5250 on a 
Linux partition on an iSeries?  Seems like it'd make more sense to run the 
emulator on the workstation rather than the server.
