"Can't find libc used by module loader"
lazarus / 1-Linux

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have just installed Debian (64 bit NeuroDebian 6.05), downloaded
Lazarus from http://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20L
inux%20x86_64%20RPM/, installed SDL (apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev)
and then downloaded the JEDI-SDL libraries from
sourceforge.net/projects/jedi-sdl.

When I try to compile one of the demos (3d/Nehe/Tutorial2) I get the
error "Can't find libc used by module loader".

I'm a newbie when it comes to Linux so could someone tell me how I fix
this?

You do not need  installation ...It already exists

Code: [Select]/usr/share/fpcsrc/2.4.4/packages/sdl
or

Code: [Select]/usr/share/fpcsrc/2.4.0/packages/sdl

Check the installation of libc

Code: [Select]sudo aptitude install build-essential

This will help you

Update the libraries so that they use FPC libraries. (examples in the
URL below).

libc is a Kylix compatibility unit that has been deprecated since
2003. (and was linux/x86 only to begin with)

Some pointers and background info is at

Thanks for the responses.

I'm still unclear how I fix this.  The FP link takes me to a page that
tells me what alternatives there are.  I'd prefer not to start trying
to do open-heart surgery on an existing unit (moduleloader which is
part of JEDI-SDL).  Is there an updated version of moduleloader out
there that does not use libc?  Or is there a simple fix?

Btw, I also followed the pascalgamer link.  In theory that takes me to
detailed instructions on JEDI-SDL installation on Linux.  The problem
is the link takes me back to the front page.

Afaik a version of jedi-sdl comes with FPC (directory /packages/sdl ?)
