To build from CVS, I have to have some extra development tools. I
have: autoconf-2.13, automake-1.4, libtool-1.3.4
To build version 0.17.x (the current development version) of tn5250, you
also need glib-1.2.7 or later
To get the sources, type:
cvs -d ':pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tn5250' login
(it'll ask you for a password. the password is "anonymous")
cvs -d ':pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tn5250' checkout tn5250
The result should be a directory called "tn5250" which has the current
sources in it.
To build them, type:
cd tn5250/
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
To install them type (as root):
make install

It may help. 0.16.1 does have some changes to that section of code.
There are some bug fixes to the 0.16.x branch in CVS as well.
To get the 0.16 branch from CVS, follow the same procedure as 0.17.x,
except add a switch to the checkout, like so:
cvs -d ':pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tn5250' checkout -r b0-16 tn5250
(that should all be one line -- in case it gets wordwrapped)
you can also add a -d option to the "checkout" if you want to download
into a different directory name. so you might have something like:
. . . checkout -r b0-16 -d tn5250-0.16 tn5250
or
. . . checkout -r HEAD -d tn5250-0.17 tn5250
Once you have the branch that you want, you can update your directory
to match the CVS server simply by:
cd tn5250-0.16
cvs update

Hmmm... this makes it more difficult for me to try to come up with a fix.
A tracefile might help, but I'm not familiar with them. :(
If the problem persists after upgrading tn5250, maybe I'll take a look at
that... or give Mike access to my AS/400 to see if he can figure it out :)
