I downloaded 0.17.4 and tried to compile it but got a message stating my
C compiler couldn't make executables (whatever that means). So I tried
apt-get install tn5250 and it told me I have the latest version (see
below output).

This is probably because you don't have the development packages installed for your distribution. I believe Ubuntu has packages called something-devel-something (obviously I don't use Ubuntu). Without the development packages you won't have a C compiler or any of the other things necessary to build software.

As for apt-get, that is something specific to Debian and Ubuntu distributions and not something under the control of the tn5250 project. Some distribution maintainer would have to upload new versions of the package to the distribution's servers for apt-get to have an effect.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
