Presently I'm stuck on trying to get glibc to compile. This has killed a lot of time. Each time I get past the latest dependency problem, there's a new one.

RHEL6 is much easier.

@p.elsie
did you try with version 1.0.1 and the Linux supplemental package?

No, I've been using Sikuli-X-1.0rc3 (r905). I'll have to do some code refactoring before I can use the new Sikuli. Maybe it's time that I do that. I'll try installing 1.0.1. Thanks for the suggestion.

@p.elsie
what kind of needed refactoring are you talking about?
Is it a major incompatibility?

1.0.1 on a clean RHEL5 installation gets me to the same point, but much quicker.

/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found

So I've still got to compile glibc.

As for the refactoring, I've built some stuff in Java on top of Sikuli to test our application. I started with Python; but since we use Java and TestNG for our application, and Sikuli is an open source Java project, it just made sense to use Java and TestNG for testing our GUI. Things didn't work so well when I tried upgrading and I retreated back to the old version. I just haven't had time to work on migrating to the new Sikuli. As long as I don't test the Linux version of our application - which sees very little usage - everything works pretty well with what I have now.

Sikuli is really sweet. Thanks for all of your contributions.

ok. thanks.

all the best.
