I've heard conflicting reports on whether RPM can detect athlon or not. If rpm --showrc shows (near the top):
install arch : athlon Then it detects it, all that's left is to make sure it isn't getting buildarchtranslated. Check down to about line 161 in /usr/lib/rpm/rpmrc and it should be: buildarchtranslate: athlon: athlon The newest RPM package has decent optflags for athlon (mostly copied from i586) and I have thrown out to list whether -mcpu should be added, if so it looks like this: optflags: athlon -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mcpu=athlon -march=athlon -ffast-math -fno-strength-reduce Finally, on the compatible arches thing, go to about line 207. If you see this: arch_compat: athlon: i686 that should help, if that doesn't totally do it, change the line after it so that it reads: arch_compat: i686: i586 athlon and let us know where you have success. Do the same for the buildarch_compat section near line 291. Any other questions or comments, let us know. --- David Walluck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On the subject, why don't athlons default to athlon > instead of i686? > I've changed it to anthlon and then it seems to > think i686 is not a > compatible architecture. does anyone have the > correct ~/.rpmrc for the > athlon, and some nice optflags besides -O2? > > > > > -- > Sincerely, > > David Walluck > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
