(by Michael Froehlich, July 17, 1996) Distribution Notes for daVinci Linux/x86 release: ================================================= The daVinci binary of the Linux distribution is dynamically linked and should run by default in X11R6. It is not necessary to install Motif or Tcl/Tk. You need a recent Linux release in order to use daVinci (or you have to install the shared libraries listed below). There are two different daVinci releases for Linux, one with a.out binaries and one with the modern ELF binaries. Check which one you need for your Linux. Both Linux releases were compiled and tested on SuSe Linux 4.2 with a 2.0.x kernel. Here is the output of ldd on our development system to show the required shared libraries the binary is linked against: ELF distribution: libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6.1 libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5.0.5 libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5.2.18 a.out distribution: libX11.so.6 (DLL Jump 6.0) => /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libX11.so.6.0 libm.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.6pl27) => /usr/i486-linuxaout/lib/libm.so.4.6.27 libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.7pl6) => /lib/libc.so.4.7.6 We would like to thank Stefan Westmeier from University of Bremen for doing the Linux port.
