-II. Linux/AXP Notes
+II. RedHat Linux Notes
+=======================
+
+Summary: There are known problems with the versions of libstdc++ that
+ships with both RedHat-5.1 and RedHat-5.2. You need to upgrade your
+libstdc++ before attempting to build flight gear on a RedHat system.
+
+Raymond de Vries <vries@per.nl> writes: I ran into [this] problem on
+my RedHat 5.2 system (brand new). After some searching I found out
+that it's got to do with a 'bug' in the stdlibc++ libraries. I picked
+up libstdc++-2.9.0-2.i386.rpm, installed it and FGFS compiled just
+fine. However, some other packages must have the libstdc++-2.8
+libraries....
+
+BTW I also solved it with the 2.8 libraries by including
+/usr/include/g++/std/bastring.cc into the example programs. I believe
+this can be done since it's a template, correct me if I'm wrong.

As of 2/19/99 I'm not aware of any glide port to Linux/AXP so it's

+You need to have the GFC library installed on your system to build
+some of the scenery generation tools, otherwise, some of the tools will fail
+to build.
+
+You can get the original library from:
+
+ http://www.geog.psu.edu/~qian/gfc/index.html
+
+However, until LJ rolls out the next release with a couple key fixes,
+I recommend you grab a copy with a couple modifications I have made
+which should eliminate several gfc build problems:

+You *must* have the plib library installed on your system to build
+the FGFS simulator!"
+
+You can get the original library from:
+
+ http://www.woodsoup.org/projs/plib
+
+This library is also mirrored (identical) at:
+
+ ftp://ftp.flightgear.org/pub/fgfs/Source/plib-1.0.2.tar.gz
+
+Build notes:
+
+When you run "./configure" to configure the package, plib's defaults
+to installing the headers in /usr/local/plib/include and the libraries
+in /usr/local/plib/lib.
+
+If you would prefer to install these in /usr/local/include/plib/ and
+/usr/local/lib, then run configure with the following options:
+
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --includedir=/usr/local/include/plib
+
+Installing like this makes it much easier for the fgfs configure script
+to locate the plib includes and libs.
