I wish I could answer that. I'm a FreeBSD user, not Linux... I've
never gotten terminfo to work, so I use termcap :) When you do a "make
install" in the tn5250/linux directory, it _should_ install the terminfo
stuff for you!
Maybe the Linux people on this list have some ideas?

I'd recommend updating to a newer version of tn5250. (0.15.7 is old)
You could try http://cvs.cleveland.lug.net/module.pl?module=tn5250 to
find 0.16.0pre2. or better yet, use CVS to get the current sources.
http://cvs.cleveland.lug.net/mail-archives/tn5250/
A search of the list archives for "CVS checkout" should give you info
on how to grab the current sources from CVS.
I don't think updating to the current version will solve your current
dilemna, but who knows?
Good luck
