Here's the environment.

SuSE9.1 Pretty much a fresh install
Kylix 1

After much faffing around trying to get the damned thing to even run, in the end having to supply an environment variable export D_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
which I tacked onto the start of my startkylix script...
OK it, then went through it's Generating Font matrix which was taking forever, cancelling the window seemed to work.

Then it came to compiling... and I got some message about

[Error] Bad file format: 'libc.so.6'
[Error] Bad file format: 'libpthread.so.0'

Looking on some german forum they suggested editing my .bashrc file and adding an alias
alias startdelphi='export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 && startdelphi'

This has made no difference so far..

Has anyone else had this trouble or am I just cursed?
