Followup - Debian and Kylix open edition

Thanks, Marc.
Re: Debian and Kylix open edition
I concur with the rest of the comments... The LC thing being set to C has to be changed. As well, I found I could not install on my Potato-based desktop system (which I've just upgraded to Woody...and therefore have to try a Kylix install on again). But it installed fine on my Progeny (Woody)-based notebook.

I did much the same, except that when the popup "Generating font matrix" appeared, I did something (closed the box ??), I just don't remember exactly what, and then kylix came up fine. Whatever I did was suggested in a previous post that I found on google. Anyway, it has run fine since that initial problem. -- Gary Dolan Debian GNU/Linux 2.2, kernel 2.4.9 FreeBSD 4.3

Re: Debian and Kylix open edition
I have it installed on Woody. Went without a hitch. Just follow the instructions. The only problem I had was linked to the locale environment variables. On startup Kylix says something about creating fonts and then quits. It seems that it does not like the "C" locale. Set the appropriate LC? variables to "en_US" and you should be in business. Sorry about the lack of details but I am not on the appropriate system right now.

Debian and Kylix open edition
I wondered - has anyone has made any attempt at installing the freebie Kylix IDE? According to the PREINSTALL readme, all distro's should be able to run it though only a few specific ones are auto configured (patched?)- a feature not present for Debian. But then it says that "A bug in some versions of the glibc loader can cause data corruption during the dynamic loading and unloading of shared objects..Systems which cannot upgrade to glibc 2.2 require a patched version of glibc 2.1.2 or later." According to the test script included, everything else required I need is present so I should be able to run Kylix if I get/apply the patch. Can someone please point me to what I need. Thanks, Marc.
