MLSoft strives to create and implement the highest quality software available. This site will focus on our freeware and GPL software for the most part.

The majority of the software is available for the Linux operating systems. See the individual descriptions for more information.

Problems installing an RPM package?

If RPM is reporting a missing dependancy of linux-gate.so.1 and NO OTHER problems, you have 2 choices.

1> install the .tar.gz version or

2> install the package with: rpm -Uvh --no-deps packagename.rpm

the 2nd option will work fine ONLY if the linux-gate package is the only problem reported. linux-gate is a virtual package used by 2.6.x kernels and is not an actual package on the hard drive. 2.4.x version kernels do not use this mechanism, but will run the application just fine. Users of older versions of linux that do not have a 2.6.x kernel may see RPM report the error above since development is done on a 2.6.x kernel machine.
