Looks like there's something more basic that fails here.  This:

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
    float x1,x2,x3,x4,x5;

    x1 = 7.5;
    x2 = 2.0;
    x3 = x1/x2;
    x4 = x1*x2;
    x5 = x1-x2;
    printf("x1 %f x2 %f x3 %f x4 %f x5 %f\n", x1, x2, x3, x4, x5);
}


produces this:

sh-2.03# ./fl 
x1 0.000000 x2 0.000000 x3 0.000000 x4 0.000000 x5 0.000000
