Maybe you remember someone asking re: perfly using performer 3.0.1 doesn't
work on rh9.0 systems (at least when using nvidia video cards - nvidia
card is necessary to run YG, a CAVE(R) scripting language), about 6 months
ago?
Someone lately told me that when using performer 3.0.0 i believe, that
they were able to get perfly to work (indeed YG, too)
Somewhere on your pages I think i remember reading that to grade performer
down to a previous version was not advisable. Indeed, i don't even see
v3.0.1 available anymore, much less 3.0.0! Just see 3.0.2.
a. does v3.0.2 *fix* the glibc problem encountered (above)?
b. if this issue has not been tested, or addressed, do you still have
3.0.0 available somewhere and could you offer any assistance/helpful hints
if moving from 3.0.1 to 3.0.0 is problematic (shared libraries would be
removed, etc)? I am not that knowledgeable re: where to check/what libs
are leaving, staying...)
Thanks for any info
