Hmm? I wonder whether cl_fmt_scaleexp were initialized before the cl_FF_globals? Just to make double sure, please send me the files cln/include/intparam.h and cln/include/floatparam.h. Also, you compiled with -g -O2, right? Please check whether those are indeed the compiler flags when you compiled the library! If you feel like experimenting a bit: If I were you, I would now build my own compiler. All you need is a few 100MB disk space, configure using similar arguments as the system-compiler (but --enable-languages=c,c++ only), make bootstrap, make install. Then adjust your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH and try that compiler. If the problem vanishes, then Slackware shipped a buggy compiler. Regards -richy. -- Richard B. Kreckel <http://www.ginac.de/~kreckel/>
