Re: Re xt5250 and 132 column issues....

In my experience, x5250 doesn't even look in /usr/local/lib. I have to
manually "setenv LIB -L/usr/local/lib" or I can't build x5250.

That seems very strange since configure doesn't think you have macro
support or enhanced 5250 support in your version of tn5250. I think it
is
likely that you have an old version installed in /usr and a new version
installed in in /usr/local. That would explain why configure can't find
enhanced support (it is likely using the libraries in /usr/lib) but
running tn5250 -version from the command line shows 0.17.5
(/usr/local/bin
is probably before /usr/bin in your path).

Be sure to check for any installed lib5250.so or lib5250.a in /usr/lib
and
/usr/local/lib. You could do something like the following to check your
entire system for any occurance of a file with 5250 in the name:

locate 5250

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 :)
