    This error:

    ./tiny: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libvga.so.1: undefined symbol: _xstat

    appears when starting to execute the binary.

    Tom and I don't think this is a tinyman problem, but something to do static/dynamic library mixing. Film at 11...

      It looks to me like a problem with svgalib's setup, or the way tiny was linked with svgalib... Since the makefile provided links the .a statically, it must be svgalib having that problem when trying to load other libraries on initialization.

        So have I linked/not linked something in the wrong place ?

        Also..I checked my install of svgalib and strangely thru rpm package manager it says it's ok but thru kpackager it says it requires svgalib-helper. Odd that. I am sticking with the former ( for the moment and trusting it) but trying to find the helper file which doesn't appear to be on rpmfind.net.

      I remember seeing something about svgalib-helper, but I've never used it. I don't think we used it at all. But I guess at this stage you could try just about anything. Tom, do you remember any clearer than me?

      Just as an after thought, you could try recompiling svgalib, and generating a new object file for tinyman to link in.

      I'll try recompiling svgalib this evening...

        Did you have any luck?

          Haven't had any luck yet.
          I have recompiled svgalib but that didn't change anything. The error messages are the same.
          I am going to a slug meeting tomorrow I shall see if anyone has any ideas. I'll put tinyman onto my laptop as it's dead rat 7.2 too.

      hmm, no, i don't remember ever installing this... unless they've split it up in more recent versions, which i would think unlikely, i don't think it would be needed

      i'd be interested to hear about any progress you make getting it working

      :)
