You need the woody libc6 to run phoenix; apart from that it seems to
be pretty self-contained.
If you don't want to upgrade to woody you can still use it in potato:
- Download the woody libc6 .deb and unpack its data.tar.gz into a new
directory, say called c225, then do (as root)
chroot c225 /sbin/ldconfig
- Unpack the phoenix package into c225/bin
- Make a shell script containing
cd /path/to/c225
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/c225/usr/local/lib:/path/to/c225/usr/lib:/path/to/c225/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib
exec /path/to/c225/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /path/to/c225/bin/phoenix-bin
- execute the shell script to run phoenix (don't forget to chmod a+x
it first!)
