Linux Notes

Two of the libraries (libc and libg++) in the Linux system provided on the Blue CD are not recent enough to run blue. After installing the Linux system, you have to update those libraries. Updates are provided on the CD.

To do the update, mount the CD on /mnt/cdrom, then look at the release notes for the new versions of libc:

/mnt/cdrom/updates/release.libc-5.4.26

and

/mnt/cdrom/updates/release.libg++-2.7.2.1

Essentially, you should just follow the instructions in there to remove existing files and links that will cause problems, then uncompress the gzipped tar files from the root directory.

DON'T TRY TO UPDATE THE SYMBOLIC LINKS BY HAND

After extracting the files, run

ldconfig -v

and check that the new libraries have been found.
