Hello.

Well, I did. And I did a lot in installing things by hand.
It seems, that chrooting is not necessary as you describe, but within
the distribution there is a setup program which is statically linked
and it is not willing to operate.

I don't know whether I can offer this to check due license restrictions.

I did a 'kind of installation' by hand and now I need to set several shell
variables the right way. Hope that works. But tomorrow ... I'm tired :-)


Dear Jordan.
If you're interested in the Borland binary that fails, I can send it to you by
Email, but it is huge ...



Thanks,

Oliver
