IBM Client Access 5250

['Forum Post]

This is for Kubuntu, but this site came up in all of the google links,
and the problems are almost identical.

STEPS:

FIRST GET "iSeriesAccess-5.2.0-1.10.i386.rpm"

Code:
--------------------
    
  su test sudo bash (where "test" is the sudo account")
  apt-get install alien
  apt-get install libmotif3
  alien -d -c iSeriesAccess-5.2.0-1.10.i386.rpm
  dpkg -i iseriesaccess-5.2.0-1.10.i386.deb
  ln -s /opt/ibm/iSeriesAccess/bin/ibm5250 /usr/bin/ibm5250
  ln -s /opt/ibm/iSeriesAccess/lib/libcwbrc.so /usr/lib/libcwbrc.so
  ln -s /opt/ibm/iSeriesAccess/lib/libcwbcore.so /usr/lib/libcwbcore.so
  ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3 /usr/lib/libXm.so.3
  ibm5250 -LANGID en_us
  
--------------------

*Note:  setup5250 will not work because of font conflicts I believe. 
But this is a pretty big step for me, since I had to recompile X to get
it running on Fedora Core 4, and then X wouldn't load... So this is a
new distro (Breezy) running our 5250 the way it should.  Horray!

Good luck!
