Build problems on Solaris 8
by Robert W. Johnstone 16 Dec '07

16 Dec '07

Hello, I've tried building CLN 1.1.13 on a machine using Solaris 8. I'm having difficulty getting the library to pass all its tests. I've tried building CLN using gcc 4.1.1, with the following combinations of flags: "-O", "-O1", and "-O1 -fno-schedule-insns". The library fails many of the integer_floor_tests. I've attached the log from running tests/exam. Additionally, I've tried compiling with gcc 3.4.0 with the flags "-O -fno-schedule_insns". The library then fails sfloat_mul_tests 72 through 75. I'm uncertain what would be causing the errors. Thank-you, ---------------------------------------- Robert Johnstone Simon Fraser University http://www.sfu.ca/~rjohnsto/

Hello! I got problems with building CLN on PowerPC64. uname -a Linux blade1 2.6.5-7.252-pseries64 #1 SMP Tue Feb 14 11:11:04 UTC 2006 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux make ...

How to cite cln
by Wilson Castro 28 Jul '07

Hello cln-developers and cln-listmoderator, I want to know how it is the correct form to cite cln. 1. first in a paper? 2. in a GNU-software for Linux that uses the library? best regards -- Ms. C.

bug in CLN RPM packaging system
by Markus Grabner 20 Jun '07

Hi! There is a small bug in the spec-file included in the CLN package "http://www.ginac.de/CLN/cln-1.1.13.tar.bz2". The package is compressed by "bzip2" and has extension ".bz2", but the spec-file refers to a "gzip"-compressed file with extension ".gz", so the command rpmbuild -ta cln-1.1.13.tar.bz2 fails. A workaround could be to uncompress the file and re-compress it with gzip, but this is somewhat inconvenient, and the issue is easily fixed by replacing ".gz" by ".bz2" in the spec-file. Kind regards, Markus -- Markus Grabner - Computer Graphics and Vision Graz University of Technology, Inffeldgasse 16a/II, 8010 Graz, Austria Phone: +43/316/873-5041, Fax: +43/316/873-5050 WWW: http://www.icg.tugraz.at/Members/grabner
