Hi all,
I've installed Kylix 3 on a new Suse 9.3 system. Added the line to
startdelphi (export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1). When I run startdelphi, I get
relocation error: ...../libwine.borland.so symbol errno, version GLIBC_2.0
not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference.
I have no file "libc.so.6". Is this supposed to be a symbolic link
somewhere?
Cheers,
Randy Hyde

least i didnt found a workaround for this anywhere at the moment. I went
back to SuSE 9.2.
I think for the people who are searching for delphi on linux it is really
time to look seriously at freepascal. Things will not going better with
kylix in the future.
regards, Jens

of this product since 2002. Alas, I need good forms creation and RAD GUI
development right away. If I have to find a copy of Suse 9.2 to make it
work, that's a better option. We'll see what happens after I load the fonts.
Cheers,

I "kind of" got Kylix up, but I never could get the dialog boxes and text to
display properly all the time (indeed, most of the time they were completely
blank). Though I've been using various versions of Linux for a decade now,
and haven't had more than the usual number of problems installing software,
this is the first time I've encountered a problem that made me understand
the complaints people have about the proliferation of Linux distros and the
fact that Linux isn't quite ready for the average person yet. No doubt, a
large part of the problem falls in Borland's lap, but I can *still* install
most win98 programs on WinXP without any problems whatsoever. Maybe Kylix is
a special case, I don't know. But this is not encouraging to me.
Unfortunately, I need to use Delphi for the current project. I'll probably
be switching back to Windows if the Suse 9.2 distro doesn't do the job.
Cheers,
Randy Hyde

Add the following line :
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
and save. It should then start. How well it works, that's
another issue. Mine is crashy. I've seen various suggestions
about the ideal kernal version number - from 2.4.0 on up
a ways. Apparently the WineServer that comes with Kylix is
quite old and gets confused if the kernal version is too
high.
This is all too bad - the Borland development interface is
very nice, slick and full-featured - unlike many packages
for native linux. Maybe if more people had paid MONEY for
the pro version ... ?
