Background: new computer, fresh Ubuntu 11.10 install, compiled tn5250 from cvs source.

I resolved the obvious issues by installing missing -dev packages but still have one I haven't figured out.

I get a bunch of error from make like:
x5250.c:1896: undefined reference to `tn5250_config_parse_argv'

Sounds to me like you have done everything correctly, but I'm wondering if cvs is missing some code. I can't seem to get cvs to work right now, but here is a copy I have of tn5250 that should work:

Please report back if this fixes your problems and I'll see what I can do about cvs.

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 :)
