Re: Unable to install Bentley's Microstation 95 for Linux

So, I tried to istall it on 10.0 a few weeks ago. No dice, couldn't even get
it to start installing. Allmost as if the executables of those times are no
longer compatible. Is that the case? Has there been a majer change in
executable code somewhere between 6.x and 10.x ? In 6.2, the kernel was
2.2.x or 2.1.x, can't be sure.

1. Big differences between the used glibc versions
2. Big difference between the used gcc to compile the binaries

I'm not sure if you can get hold of comparability libraries that will give you something like glibc2.0/gcc2 binaries to work on a glibc2.5/gcc4 environment.
Even if you had that, you will then have troubles with other libraries, where you will have different major versions than needed by the old software, and symlinking will not help when there are differences in the API.

Without setting up an emulation running the old version of SuSe, you won't have much luck to get anything at all to happen with the CAD program.
