Two problems. First, I had problems with Performer 3 loading the wrong
versions of loader libs. My trick was to write a scripts that manually
switched symlinks between .1, .2, and .3 versions of the libs. It was
terrible, but I couldn't figure anything better.
Second, Performer 3 on RH9 is simply broken. There's a little bit of
code that can trick the linker into making your app work, but you'd
have to recompile some of the built-in tools for this to work. Our
solution was to... dump RH9! We currently use Debian unstable, which
seems to run Performer just fine.
Here is the code snippet that magically made my Performer apps work in
RH9:
int main (int argc, char * argv[]) {
// insert these two lines and everything will magically work, ACK!
static int ignore = 0;
if (ignore) { FILE * fp = fopen("", "r"); }
pfInit();
...
}
