Though I went and grabbed the source to termcap-compat, uncompressed it, ran 'debian/rules binary' in the resulting directory, and then installed the resulting debian package. The resulting library according to ldd was linked with libc6, while the one in the original termcap-compat package had been linked with lic5. After resolving a few ncurse version issues (yes, this annoying program is linked with both termcap and ncurses!), I got it to work just fine.

Zmagic binaries linked with libc4! :( It would probably be easier to get those running though :-) Just grab libc4 and a few other things from buzz, rex or bo. Although the a.out stuff is not included with current releases, the old versions still work just fine. All my machines are originally buzz and they have it installed still.

Termcap and Libc5/6 with Debian Problems...
I have a binary that is linked with both libc6 and libtermcap2 that I am trying to get running. I tried installing the termcap-compat debian package, and that provide the binary with the needed libtermcap library. Unfortuntely, since libtermcap was built and linked using libc5 (as stated in the package description), both libc5 and libc6 end up linked to my binary when I do a 'ldd' on it (I do have the libc5 package installed). I am rewarded for my efforts by a segfault of the binary when I try to run it, which is quite understandable given the two, conflicting, libcs present. The worse news is that I can not recompile the binary, as it is a commerical product. The product is C/BASE 4GL from Conetic (www.conectic.com) if any one is interested. It is actually thier demo version, and I have had the same problems with both thier Eval kit for RH5.0 and the one for RH5.1. Now, how, if possible, can one get this binary running? I imagine that I need a libtermcap2 built/linked with libc6. Does such a debian package exists? Or do I need to go find the sources and built it myself? Or should I just find a RH machine to test out this program? :( Thanks in adavance for any help! PS. This is better than thier previous Eval kit they had up until just recently...
