      Hi There,

Running Corel 2nd Ed Linux (Debian)

Got to screen 12. Let it go and it failed to compile! Had no g77 prog on my
computer. Got version 2.95.2-13, installed it, back to screen 12, let it go 
again.

Failed in a different way this time:

I control Ced out at this point.

On the install web page you say this:

IPS assumes the glibc based C library.

I presume that g77 is the egcs version that you speak of, or do I need to 
install
something else?

In an ols install document you talk of editing libc --> lncurses on Linux.
Is this the problem?

Is there a log file that I should send you?

Help appreciated.
