libc is backwards compatible only. That means you can build something with libc-2.2.5 and it will run also on libc-2.3.2. So a fp with debugger build on Woody will also run on Sarge, Etch and Sid. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
