Installing Kylix on Debian Potato
Borland's pre-install checkup program (borlandpretest) can only find one
problem with my setup to install Kylix.
The glibc loader apparently has a bug but they don't provide a patch for
this.
Here's a description of the problem in their own words:
-- Some versions of the glibc loader can cause data corruption
during the dynamic loading and unloading of shared objects.
The result can be spontaneous segmentation faults in unrelated
programs. Kylix is particularly sensitive to this issue, and
will not install if that version of libc is present. This has
been reported to glibc's maintainers, who have incorporated a fix
in glibc 2.2. Systems that cannot upgrade to glibc 2.2 require
a patched version of glibc 2.1.2 or later.
Any idea where I can find this patch or download a patched version of
glibc 2.1.3?
