Partial Success. How to install Kylix 3 on Fedora 3.

Hi I've just sucessfully installed Kylix 3 Professional on fresh install of
Fedora 3. Since I had to search through multiple postings on multiple
newsgroups to do so, I figured I'd put everything into one place. Hopefully
memory will serve me well.
I am running Fedora Core 3 as a guest OS on VMware Workstation 5 on WinXP.
Both Gnome and KDE interfaces are installed.
Fedora Core Personal Version was installed.
The following corrections had to be made before installing Kylix.
1) I had to go back and install the "Development Tools" package in System
Settings>Add/Remove Applications in order to not get a error about not
being able to find a gcc compiler during install.
2) I had to install the libXP.so.6 file. This is available on the second
Fedora Core 3 .iso CD. It is contained in the
xorg-x11-deprecated-libs-6.8.1-12.i386.rpm. Install the rpm.
I installed the main program files and help files. I did not install
database or internet components. I still get a warning that libX11.so is
missing, but this is a video library and I am not writing software that
works with video.
3) After installation I added the following code to the startbcb and
startdelphi files
echo 1>/proc/sys/vm/legacy_va_layout
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
This was added just before the line
source /usr/local/kylix3/bin/kylixpath /usr/local/kylix3>/dev/null
/usr/local/kylix3/bin/delphi $*
Now I am able to run the Kylix 3. I am not yet able to compile a blank form
due to compile errors in Borland's time.h file. Perhaps I need to use a
different gcc version?

I think that if you move the /usr/include path in the "include paths"
project option to be the first path, then those include errors should
go.
