I am trying to get a tn5250 emulator working on my N800 (chinook OS2008). I added the package just as you state above, but when I run ‘tn5250 IPADDY’, it fails with the error: “Error opening terminal: xterm.”. Any thoughts?
have not used for some time, first versión of OS800, with any update something has changed inf the OS. In scratchbox works, but I need to do more tests to detect the problem.
Thanks for looking into it. If you happen to find something, and would like to contact me directly, you can at liquid64 – at – gmail.com
Just wanted to update you to my progress. After downloading scratchbox and the maemo sdk, I tried compiling/building tn5250, and moved the deb to my tablet. After installing, it still gave the same error message. As I was installing my deb, I noticed that it mentioned needing ncurses, so I used ‘apt-get install ncurses’. After doing so, tn5250 works like a charm! Anyway, just wanted to pass that on if anyone is interested.
