unfortunately, they're (very) outdated. IMHO it's best to compile the software on one's own (if knowledge, time etc. allows this) or try sth. like NetBSD's pkgsrc (www.pkgsrc.org), which is very convenient and up to date :) a minor issue on this is that the latter one still runs better on MIPSpro than gcc. > > I suggest you direct IRIX-specific questions to comp.sys.sgi.admin. > There are plenty of experts there. > true, true... > Damian Menscher cheers, -- Timo Schoeler | http://macfinity.net/~tis | [EMAIL PROTECTED] //macfinity -- finest IT services | http://macfinity.net Key fingerprint = F844 51BE C22C F6BD 1196 90B2 EF68 C851 6E12 2D8A There are 10 types of people in the world.
