It doesn't like it. I applied the loki updates (which was interesting in and of itself.. loki was using some depreciated options of tail). According to google, the game is supposed to run with: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.4 sc3u However, I get an error about unable to load libdl.so.2. However, I get the same error when I do: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.4 ldd ./games/bin/sc3u ldd should be able to run, however it won't. Same thing with any command. I've tried various values, such as 2.2.5, 2.4.1, 2.4.10, 2.5.1, and 2.6.*. If I choose 2.6.*, then everything works like it should. I made sure I had all the "compat" libraries installed that seemed appropriate. esearch compat, showed me what I could install. After more googling, I've learned that some people are getting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to work, however I believe they are running 2.4 kernels. I also found this mail archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-dev@gentoo.org/msg00492.html That post was a year ago. Is there any work being done on this? Is it finished? in testing? Is this a 2.6 thing or an NPTL thing? I don't really like using my FC box anymore, but it seems I'll have to keep it around in order to handle situations such as this. Suggestions or answers? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
