Hi list!

This posting is about Rhide on the Linux plattform. If off-topic, please
tell me the right place to ask, but I have the impression, that many users
of DJGPP also use Linux. (ugh, very german pointing, Im afraid)

My System : RedHat 5.0, glibc 2.0.6, gcc 2.8.1, libg++ 2.8.0, kernel 
2.0.33 on an i486. Rhide 1.4.1-1.(src|i386).rpm (statically linked AFAIS)

My Problems : Well, there are so much its not easy to describe them. The
main points are that Rhide dumps core often : mainly in debug-mode and
screws the terminal (function-keys dont work afterwards as well as mouse).
Rhgdb seems to be more stable but dumps core also all few minutes. The
message is usually "Segmentation fault". I tried to re-compile it from a
rhide-1.4.1.src.rpm. I started at 6 on evening. At 6 in the morning I had
a binary "idegc.exe" (Whats that? I excpected a binary "rhide"?)
compiled&linked but couldnt get it running (but it screwed the terminal up
anyway before "Segmentation fault"). There was no big chance to try to fix
things, the source-structure is very complicated, there were even serious
mistakes in the sources, libraries "libintl.(a|so)" were missing etc.

So my question is : Has somebody got it to compile on Linux-glibc2? Any
advice where to twiddle to get the binary I have to run? Rhide is really
the best IDE available on linux and I need it for work.

Thank you very much for your attention and please dont get angry if
off-topic or answered a few days ago - a nice pointer to the right place
would then be appropriate.

Hans
