Greets All; Preface: I am a linux n00b:
I'm trying to install Mars_nwe on a debian (sarge I believe it is referred to) 3.1 box, running kernel version 2.4.27-2-386; I've found several releases for this emu, but none of them want to compile for me; I've tried using alien to convert rh rpm's to deb, but this doesn't seem to help; Should I install an old kernel / old version, (this is critical to me) for compatibility for the old code? I installed the "older" version of gcc (I believe it is called) as to help with the make errors, but I don't know how to "force" debian to use the old compiler. I get separator errors, and from what I've read, this has to do with spaces instead of tabs; I ran "rhide" expand, as well as another gnu text util, to try and clean up the code; Unfortunately, I'm not a coder of any sort, so it is fruitless to corse through the code and try to fix it. Has anyone successfully set up Mars with the latest distro (stable) of debian? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated; this is quite a frustrating ordeal.
