I have two Linux systems on my machine: a SuSE 9.0 system, and a light "media player" distro called movix2.

Unfortunately Movix2 includes an ash shell instead of bash, and unlike bash, ash does not seem to handle array variables that I use in an important script of mine.
It would be very time consuming to rewrite the script, so I thought I might symlink bash and the required libraries from my SuSE system to the movix2 system.

I symlinked bash to /usr/local/bin/bash; besides some libraries like libreadline, libhistory (libc.so.6 seemed to be already there), when I was faced with the following error message when trying to run my script by bash under movix2:
libc.so.6: required by libreadline.so.x: version GCC_xxxx not found

What does this error message mean? Can it be solved by symlinking some other files from my SuSE system to movix2? Which ones?

P.S.
Since movix2 is a mini distro specifically designed for playing multimedia files, it does not include gcc, so compiling bash or anything under movix2 seems to be impossible. That is why I try to use the compiled SuSE bash and library binaries under movix2.
I would be glad if you could suggest me a better solution that simply works.

compile bash statically, this way it wont depend on libs (and since they are different distros, if you compile under 1, it might not work on another, due to library differences between the distros)

then just copy the executable over to that movie distros place

Well, actually I have already tried to get some info on how to compile (link) programs statically, but I could not find anything useful.

How could it be done? Should I use a surplus option to the configure script, or edit the makefile?

i think you need to pass the "-static" option to gcc .... look at LFS, i believe it compiles things statically the first time, so it should help to learn how
