That shouldn't matter.

This appears to be a configuration issue on your computer.

You have to tell your computer where to look for libraries.  It appears 
that your computer is looking in /usr/lib but not in /usr/local/lib or 
/usr/lib/tn5250

How you change that config will vary from distro to distro -- and I'm 
not an Ubuntu guy.  But perhaps the man page for ldconfig will tell you?

I know on FreeBSD, I'd do:

ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib

I seem to recall the last time I used Linux it was different, I had to 
edit a file called /etc/ld.so.conf (or some such thing).  But I don't 
know if that's the case for you.  Again, try the man page for 
ldconfig(8) it should explain it.
