"Dynamic linking on your system is consistent... All done." which, obviously, is not true :-) BTW, the old revdep-rebuild.sh finally wants to rebuild hundreds of packages... which I interrupted - makes no sense at all for me. > I am not familiar with the particular software and wouldn't know how to keep > it alive on a present day Gentoo system - other than building Gentoo using an > old snapshot and installation media, perhaps in a VM and using additional > packages of the same era from the attic in a local overlay. Ok, I could set up a complete "old" system, of course, but I'm using the old libraries on a "production system" (they are called by a PHP extension which is used by a public accessible Apache web server). So I'm really interested in keeping the rest of the system up-to-date. The old Kylix libraries just do some comprehensive calculations. Not too difficult to manually translate that into PHP (or any other script language, or even plain C), but just hundreds of code lines to type... > Someone else may be able to offer useful advice, but I would think this is > more of a question suitable for the gentoo-dev mailing list[1] and IRC > channel[2]. Have you tried asking there? Not yet - AFAIK the gentoo-dev list is read-only for non-developpers, and I've never used IRC in my life at all :-) But I'll give it a try if I have no further ideas... -Matt
