Please do! The only way I can get it right is if I get reports back about
every platform during the testing phase. Of course it is discouraging that
one user reports success with RH 5.1 and another reports failure.
Speculation: I've had reports that RH 5.1 installation gives you the choice
about which pieces of the development environment to install, and have
encountered at least one example where the curses (aptly named!) material
was just simply missing, even though cc and make were installed, because the
user answered "no" to some question.
It sounds like there is going to be a whole new universe of problems to
cope with. Personally, I think it's nuts to deploy UNIX systems without a
complete development environment. This is what, historically, has
distinguished UNIX from most other platforms, and it is the primary reason
for its success. It should be a given that programs should be buildable
from source code on any UNIX system.
