Any pointers ?
It can't find libc. Since nearly every linux distro has libc, this probably means some symlink isn't set. (from libc-x.y.z.a.b.so to libc.so or so in /usr/lib or /lib or both) Some distributions only install the symlink when the corresponding -devel package is installed, but that package can be huge, so setting the symlink manually might help _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
