Don't mean to be a pest, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me 
whether they've been successful in upgrading to a more recent version 
of SuSE or RedHat in their Linux emulation tree? Is there anyone who 
needs a tester/helper in doing this so we can get back in line with the 
more recent stdc++/glibc/etc libraries and be compatible with recent 
builds of popular software? :)

Perhaps I'm just missing something, but I had much difficulty simply 
installing the libraries in the "right" spot. Many of them seemed to 
refuse to run, but it was a month or two ago when I tried this so I'll 
probably need to give it another go if someone else reports success.

Thanks for your comments!
