When upgrading to newer kernels there is a necessity for upgrading
libraries such as libc. The Livingston software was written for Linux
1.2.13 with libraries which were current at the time 1.2.13 was current.
It is not unusual at all to have binaries written for earlier systems to
operate erraticly when trying to run on a more up to date system.
My only reason for making the original post was to let someone know that
there are probably a lot of us out here that want and need more up to date
software. I believe that users of Linux platforms are being neglected.
