What SPARC box(es) do you have? I may be able to host Solaris development systems if needed although the SPARC stuff would have to be scheduled since I cannot leave them on all the time because of the huge noise and heat factor. The Intel box is on most of the time. > His point was that Slackware has a far more limited range of binaries and > libraries than do more popular distreaux such as Debian/Ubuntu, but it > has its uses.

If 2.6.0 is ok for Linux that is good enough for me as far as Slackware goes. I may try to rebuild against my glibc or just forget about it on Linux and concentrate on Solaris since I prefer to work on Solaris anyway. I appreciate your offer for packages but since you or somebody else has already pointed me to the buildfaq, I'll try this on my own and when I get stuck I'll email the list again. Thanks again for all the help. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
