Installing the debian 11 package worked, thanks.  I too got an error message at the end of the install process.  Poked around, and I think (not tested) that the problem can be worked around by setting global write access (chmod 777) on the .deb file.

Hi,

Well I was trying to kill several birds with one stone... I was running the latest oo-net-rexx package from Rony.  I'll follow your lead and download the debian 11 pkg.  Thank you~

Hello again,

I just installed Debian 12 (Bookworm) in a VM and then downloaded oorexx-5.1.0-12973.debian11.x86_64.deb from Sourceforge and installed it. I got one error message during the install but rexx worked out of the box without any modifications. I am building and running the testing suite to see if there are any surprises, if so I will report back.

Remember that ooRexx is build for 64 bit, you are not by any chance running a 32 bit version of Debian? I do not think that will work without building it yourself.

I have a script setting out all the steps if you want to have a go at it.

Hello all,

I'm setting up a new machine with Debian 12.  When I try to run ooRexx 5.1.0 I get an error message complaining that GLIBC-2.38 cannot be found.  It appears that Debian 12 is shipped with GLIBC-2.36.  I scouted around a bit and upgrading GLIBC is discourged.

Does ooRexx actually require 2.38 (over 2.36)?  If so, has anyone updated Debian 12? can you share the method?

If not, can we have a build that refers to 2.36?
