I've just tried the export

export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.0
But I get the same error.

I originally had
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
But it didn't work.

I still have my old Linux environment intact, so it's not a complete loss, but I'd really like to be able to use Kylix under SuSE9.1

For the record, I've placed the export command in both the startkylix script and the .bascrc file. But still no joy.
