Hi Lester,
I'm running an ‎AMD Sempron 2800+.
The NTPL version is :
getconf GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION
NPTL 2.6.1
I will try to install the classic version.
There is a distribution proposed by Mandriva but only for the 2.0 FB
version. As I wanted to step forward I installed it and try now to
figure out what are the incompatibilities with the Delphi
components... but I would feel much more comfortable with the 1.5.4
version as I don't know exactly what may not run anymore...
Thanks anyhow for your support.
Olivier
