<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style=" font-size:12pt">Could be a build issue with the ibm5250 using the libstdc++.so.5 and your
system may have a different version installed. I recently did a system
upgrade and had an issue with a program using xxx.8 version of a library, but
the upgrade had the xxx.10 version installed. I just created a symbolic link to
the old name to get it working, but later updated the program to a new
version.</span></font></div>

<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style=" font-size:12pt">I don't have access to the ibm5250 you mention, but I have used tn5250 with

some nice features.</span></font></div>

</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style=" font-size:12pt">The java works on both windows and linux, but with Fedora I had to use
dos2unix on the startup script that it creates for it to work.  Has a nice option,
where you can have all 24 function keys displayed at the bottom, and use
the mouse to click on. I had to change some key mapping to get it to work
the way I wanted, but it was easy. </span></font></div>
