I installed tn5250.0.17.4 and got it working. Then I tried to install the
latest version of x5250, but this time I get this error message:
configure: error: ** Unable to find 5250 libraries!
Here's what I have in /usr/local/lib:
Scott Klement reports that on his FreeBSD system he can't get x5250's
configure to find lib5250 if it installed in /usr/local/lib. Scott is no
slouch, so if x5250 can't find it then it is probably a problem with
x5250. Use Scott's solution which posted a few minutes ago or install
tn5250 in /usr. I always use the second option. If you want to install
in /usr just build tn5250 like this:
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install
That will put lib5250 in /usr/lib and x5250 will have no problem finding
it. For the curious, here is how I always configure the build of tn5250:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var/lib/tn5250
This allows me to put a system wide tn5250rc file in /etc which makes it
feel a little more like a standard UNIX installation. Of course, this is
all personal preference.
Or read Scott's post and set up your environment the way he does before
configuring x5250.

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 :)
