Great to hear about the fixes! I'm not sure about the shared-c-library but it would appear that: V4.85 is included with RO 3.71 V5.53 was hosted on the iyonix site you linked (seems to be 26-bit judging from the webpage) V5.77 is included in UniBoot2 (maybe this one is 32-bit?) For what it's worth, !Doom is happy with either V5.53 or V5.77. I don't know if the later versions break things though.
I can understand you wanting to keep the recommend install stuff to a minimum. I've never used a real Risc PC, only older Archimedes models, which is why I struggled a bit. Heh! I'm not sure what the issue is with the MDFs. They do appear to be there under !Boot\Resources\Configure\Monitors\Acorn but I found that without the 'anymode' module only old-style numbered modes seemed to work and everything was grayed out in the Display Manager settings. Looking forward to the next test version. I'll be sure to give it a try and see if I can find any other issues. Thanks for the quick reply!
