Hej Tom !

When is that next version due ?
I have a project to hand in in 4 weeks ...

I tried to dive into the internals of the gcc installation and make it
link with the glibc2.1-libs (there was some kind of compatibility package
available from Mandrake, but not now anymore), but it all hooked up on the
X11-libs that required libc6-2.2 *sigh* ...

I remember the saying from the libc6 creators: "From now on
(with the introduction of glibc2.0) there won't be any compatibility/lib
version problems anymore" .... yeah, right ... :-/

So I will install an extra system to program Performer in ...
anyone who can recommend me a good base to build on ?
I have used Mandrake 7.2, will install that again per default ...
but I am thinking about switching back to RedHat again -
which is the last RedHat version that had glibc2.1 ?

Thanks for your help ! :-)
(Mailing lists are a good channel for complaining about things and finding
someone there that actually understands my sorrows ;) )

yes. Stick with that for now. this'll be fixed with the next revision
of Performer.
