Sorry for the delay on this. I take part of the blame, but I share it
with some hackers who invaded our system, causing us to be shut off from
the outside world for a considerable time until everything could be
cleaned up. The ftp site has just become accessible again (I
think/hope).
I've put two files:
README and
poplog1553.linux.libc5.nox.tar.bz2
in the directory at
ftp://ftp.cogsci.ed.ac.uk/pub/stepheni/poplog
The README is also included at the top level in the archive in the other
file.
The archive is a subset of the linux poplog 15.53 distribution,
recompiled for linux libc5 and intended particularly for mini-linux
distributions that run on small machines with older Intel processors.
Libc5 is older and smaller than libc6, and many mini-linux
distributions, such as muLinux, Monkey Linux and Tomsrtbt are based on
it. Current "real" linux distributions are based on libc6, but many,
e.g., RedHat 7.0, are backwards compatible. I've run this poplog under
both RedHat 6 and RedHat 7, as well as on a 25MHz 486 under muLinux.
I have not compiled X into this poplog (hence the `nox' in the filename)
on the grounds that X is often not practical on the sort of machines
that run mini-distributions.
Further details in the README.
I'd welcome reports from people who try it out.
Regards,
Steve
