Requirements? (running i586, Ubuntu)

[eqd00d]

Howdy!

I got ahold of a really old machine (an AMD K6-2/400) and installed Ubuntu on it no problem. Is ShowEQ able to run on this machine?
checking build system type... Invalid configuration `i586-pc-linux-oldld': machine `i586-pc-linux' not recognized is the message I got - please let me know if it's my own inadequacy or if the program just requires newer hardware.

Thank you!

Installed Debian, works fine; looks like it was just incompatible with Ubuntu? Either that and/or the processor.

Anyway, thread closed. ;)

How can I build Ubuntu packages from tarball but use the Debian packages to resolve build dependencies?
