[Magic-dev] installing magic on Fedora Core 3

[R. Timothy Edwards]

Dear Andrew,

 > Is magic compatible with Fedora Core 3?

Magic versions 7.2 and 7.3 are compatible with Fedora Core 3, which is
what I have on my laptop.  The "varargs" thing became incompatible with
the introduction of gcc version 3.  One way to get around it is to get
gcc version 2.95 from gnu.org; otherwise, you'll find that many packages
break when compiled from source with gcc-3.

I'm about to move magic version 7.3 from "alpha" to "beta", just
haven't gotten around to it yet, in case you're worried about the
reliability of the newer versions.

					Regards,
					Tim
