Hello Sampsa!

This is a follow on from my previous msg.

Thinking a little about your problem - I have ommited some points to consider.

1.  Is the Linux distro you are running on the host PC/server fully upto date
with all service packs and fixes and is it done on a regular basis?

If not use another one that does!

2.  Have you built both the v3 and v4 builds of Hercules so you can test each
one on this distro ?

3.  Does the Linux Distro that will run under Hercules fully up to date with
service packs and other fixes again on a regular basis and if there has not
been any or you cannot access them, find another distro.

4.  Have you installed all required packages required for C development that
mbse needs?

5.  Did you tell the mbse build to make use of all Z optimisations without
going overboard?

6.  If there are issues in installing a working C development group of 
packages
on items 1 & 3 consider cross compiling on your own box, although that also 
has
its issues in that find a GCC compiler that supports the Z platform.

Well thats a starter for 10 .
