Finally getting back to this. Compiled tn5250 from cvs:

This looks good.

Ran configure then make on x5250 and got errors on make:

The above is normal and is not a problem.

[snip a bunch of stuff]

The above error appears to me to be a result of compiling against old libraries. The tn5250_window_list_find_by_id() function is relatively new and the linker can't find it. To me that indicates that you have an old version of lib5250 hanging around somewhere and the linker is using that old version instead of the new libs you just installed.

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 :)
