Re: [linrad] Svgalib 1.4.3 to 1.9.18

[Stan <stan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Stan,

Every Linux distribution has its own peculiarities and tricks. So I can 
not comment on Red Hat.

I believe you have to deinstall svgalib-1.4.3 and its connections to the 
kernel before installing 1.9.18
or any other version.

Will see you at the conference this weekend. The door prize extravaganza 
is shaping up well.
