I'm wondering...has anyone installed Kylix yet. I've made one attempt so far and i'm getting an error so far that I'm not sure just How I'm going to resolve it. The "borpretest" script reports a missing library file. One lib-a.so. The first place I went looking for this file was rpmfind but had no luck there. However, after reading your post Civileme I couldn't resist the temptation to pop over and grab xbasic and check it out. -- daRcmaTTeR windows = "where do you want to go today" Mac = "go where you want, do what you want today" MDK-linux = " been there, done that, got the tee shirt, why do you ask?"
