Re: openoffice on ppc anyone?

Well I've run almost every glibc since gary thomas started releasing 'em
way back when (thanks gary!) and I've been lucky so far. :)

Me too!  The only real issue for *robust* native threads use are to
stay with at least with glibc-2.1.3 (glibc-2.1.2 has some problems
with the jdk).

I'm already convinced, I'll switch as soon as possible. Sometime next
week, hunting for arcane build info has burned more time than I planned to
spend on soffice already. Real world computer desasters took the rest.

When choosing a glibc-2.1.3 version, stick with either the
glibc-2.1.3-5a-rpm which shipped with YDL and LinuxPPC I think) from
Franz or his very latest glibc-2.1.3-15f rpm because the intermediate
versions had native threads bugs introduced after the glibc-2.1.3
branch was completed (bug fixes which made new bugs!).

I had got 15d ready to install, thanks for the warning.
