   Hello Sampsa!   
      
   Wednesday December 23 2015 09:09, you wrote to me:   
      
   This is a follow on from my previous msg.   
      
   Thinking a little about your problem - I have ommited some points to consider.   
      
   1.  Is the Linux distro you are running on the host PC/server fully upto date   
   with all service packs and fixes and is it done on a regular basis?   
      
   If not use another one that does!   
      
   2.  Have you built both the v3 and v4 builds of Hercules so you can test each   
   one on this distro ?   
      
   3.  Does the Linux Distro that will run under Hercules fully up to date with   
   service packs and other fixes again on a regular basis and if there has not   
   been any or you cannot access them, find another distro.   
      
   4.  Have you installed all required packages required for C development that   
   mbse needs?   
      
   5.  Did you tell the mbse build to make use of all Z optimisations without   
   going overboard?   
      
   6.  If there are issues in installing a working C development group of    
   packages   
   on items 1 & 3 consider cross compiling on your own box, although that also    
   has   
   its issues in that find a GCC compiler that supports the Z platform.   
      
   Well thats a starter for 10 .
