I tried building glibc 2.2 (just released today on freshmeat.com) but when building with the original compiler (Red Hat August release) I had compile errors with sysdeps/ia64/fpu/s_isnanl.S - nat, qnan and snan weren't defined. The latest snapshot seems to define these, but crash a lot. Is there something in the middle you'd recommend? - Scott ----------------------------- Scott Hankin In the beginning, there was nothing, then Rational Software God said, "Let there be light." And there 20 Maguire Road was light. There was still nothing, but Lexington, MA 02421 you could see it a lot better.
