skid said in another thread a few days ago something along the lines of "if you compile using gcc4, it will only work on a linux distro that has the gcc4 libraries installed - most only have the gcc3 libraries installed".
i.e. for maximum compatibility, you should compile using a real gcc3, not a symlinked version.
My Linux box will run & compile max programs, including the IDE, but it is using gcc4, not gcc3. Hence I'd like to investigate further before generating a distributable "exe".
But to be honest, I don't really know enough about linux or any of this gubbins to know whether I've interpreted those comments correctly...I'd much prefer someone more knowledge about linux, with maxgui to volunteer to build linux versions of the ide...
