CodeGear : Kylix patch ...

Hi all,

sorry for posting here but the kylix groups are quite as dead as kylix itself :-(

trying to install Kylix 3 on newer distro (Mandriva 2007) works very well ... but when I try to ./stardelphi I get the following errors :

------------------------------------------------------------------------
expr: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
sed: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
sed: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
sed: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
sed: error while loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

/home/kylix/kylix3/bin/delphi: error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

all I could find on google, is that newer distros use a newer libc>=2.4 that is no more compatible with kylix :-(

Do you know a way to fix that ?
Is it possible to install an older libc on new distro ?
and add some link to this old libc only for kylix ?

Or the only hope would be that CodeGear release a patch ?

Is it so complicate to release a patch ?

Couldn't CodeGear afford to put one or two man to work a few days to compile the Kylix3 with a newer winelib or newer libc ?


Thanks for your answers.

And yes, I know Lazarus ! ... please don't answer 'Use Lazarus' :-)
