In the majority of cases, segfaults arise from mismatch between library requirements. In particular, Oxygen packages are liable to depend on glibc2.1 or glibc2.2, while Bering is still using glibc2.0. Packages that directly interact with the kernel (typically network transport, rather than network applications) may also prove problematic. The resources called upon by the package determine its compatibility, and it is not simple to determine compatibility by examination in most cases. > I think Mike has been cataloguing and maintaining the > list.

AFAIK Oxygen packages are unlikely to be a good match with Bering. Even a Materhorn or LRP2.9.8 could work, though they might be quite out of date. > Can there be a compatibility or tested on version mention in a readme for > each lrp? I know people do this on free time but this would be a great help. Keep a list of your experiences on a webpage. Publish it occasionally. If it proves useful, you may want to put it on the leaf website. The developers are busy trying to expose their sourcecode in CVS, and are unlikely to start a massive testing program anytime soon. > Mohan > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mark Ivey > Sent: 27 August 2002 23:49 > To: guitarlynn > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [leaf-user] bering: monitoring bandwidth? > > > Will Bering be able to work with any .lrp file, or only .lrp files made > for Bering?
