And I can report that the Linux ELF binary of the 971001 release does not work with RedHat 4.0 either.

Here is what I get with a compile of a canonical hello.pas:

Hi again all,

Just FYI for you RedHat 4.1 users, GPC still does not play well with that version of RedHat. I hope to know more when I get the most recent ver of RedHat here.

Thanks & keep up the GREAT work!!
