Tony, on my mind that's something worth fixing. Build goes wrong at some step, looks like you use h-file from one version of ICU, but have libraries from other version. glibc 2.7 is OK, what about kernel 2.4.24 - not sure, I've started development with 2.6.27 Does kernel 2.4 support NPTL correctly? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Windows Azure Live!
