One of the prime requirement I have set for myself in bringing documentation up-to-date is to define prerequisites for (you fill in the list...).<BR>
In my vocabulary that means a table for jnos2.0x and a second table for compile platform - in this case: ubuntu 6.06 / gcc / glibc / etc.<BR>
It may not come out this way in the end because of the rev level complication, but the script you request answers the same question after the platform is up and running and the target version of jnos is in your hands / my document for planning purposes...<BR>

One of the simplifying things about jnos comes from it's roots - it began life as a self-contained code with few prerequisites. I sense this is about the change with library calls replacing native code. I expect this is a good thing over the long haul. But it means my platform table now has more entries, and probably some "sunset" entries to accommodate older revs. And I'm approaching this as a non-geek? Still, I'm expecting a newbie will get feet wet with pre-compiled versions (another platform table?) before taking this compilation step to optimize code content for the site.

I hope soon to define a good answer to your question for many platforms...
