I have a few games for linux that were given to me and the system requirements say kernel 2.2.x I am running Mandrake 10 which I believe is kernel 2.6.x. Can anyone tell me if this will be a problem? The software titles are Simcity 3000, Rune, Kohan, and Soldier of fortune. Also, if there may be other issues I should be aware of please let me know. Thank you

I installed Simcity 3000 per directions on the cd and this is the error code I got when trying to run the game. Can anyone try to explain this in english? LOL

[shadowmatrix@xxxxxxxxxxxx shadowmatrix]$ sc3u
sc3u: relocation error: sc3u: symbol _dl_global_scope, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file ld-linux.so.2 with link time reference
[shadowmatrix@xxxxxxxxxxx shadowmatrix]$

Thanks for your help.

I installed the update without any problems and now when I try to start the game it gives an error of Segmentation Fault. Anyone know what this might mean? I am googling the issue now and have not found any help so far.
