We'll not be liked if it seems that "linux > compatibility" is no longer available on our latest -RELEASE. 3.x is supported. you just need to set NEEDLOADLINK in a certain case. > I'll grab the package, and see if that installs and works properly, and > try using one of the methods above to ease the port build.
