NOTE: I am a newbie to LINUX; please keep it > simple. It means that you downloaded a SVGAlib binary compiled against the old libc (i.e. libc 5, used by Redhat 5 and other distros). You should be able to find a more recent binary compiled against libc6. Alternately (and preferably) you could also get the sources and compile them yourself. Provided you have a compiler installed and working, it's not hard. It shouldnt require any more than to unpack the source, cd into it, (maybe edit Makefile.cfg to set BACKGROUND to N, or comment it out), and type make install to compile it and set it up. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Unsubscribe: To: listbot@svgalib.org Body: unsubscribe linux-svgalib
