A new definition of libraries (was: Linux Installation)

[Bob Warren]

Andre:

First of all, I think your English is excellent, and if after nearly 33 
years in Brazil my written Portuguese was as good as your English, I 
would be a happy man.

Thank you very much for your very lucid explanation. Part of what you 
said is exactly what I confirmed with Ken Ray days ago, and I have been 
simply seeking to re-affirm this - and only this - ever since. You said:

If its building software for linux with runrev then trust one thing, if 
the IDE runs, the standalones will run too. Rev will probably run on all 
major linux distros provided they are new ones (meaning no ancient 
kernel running for 5 years...).

-------------------
On top of that, you have given me the kind of qualification I was 
looking for:

But don't expect it to run everywhere, not even linux users expect it. 
No one is expecting that Rev apps run on DSL or Knoppix (although they 
might).

-------------------
I'll certainly try the exceptional distros you mention. Incidentally, I 
think Rev standalones will probably run OK on Knoppix too, since they 
run perfectly on Kurumin which is a direct derivative of it.

In this thread and the one it arose from, I have not been the slightest 
bit concerned about discussing the distribution of apps generally in 
Linux. I have only tried to discuss the distribution of Rev apps. It has 
now been confirmed again that they do NOT need "installing" in any 
normal sense of the word and that "standalone" means what it says.

You can rest assured that you have answered my question perfectly, that 
you have helped enormously, and that I can now sleep at night knowing 
that I am not bonkers after all. Thank you very much indeed.

Best regards,
Bob
