first of all, you probably don't want -march=1.0 .... try 1.1 also there are some floating point issues on hppa-linux right now. willy mentioned that the 'long double' type is broken (gcc and glibc don't agree on its size) but i don't know if that's the problem in atlas. python2 also has a sqrt on floating point number problem, but i don't know if it's related to this or not. if you can provide a simple test case that is failing, it'll help us track down the problem. randolph -- Debian Developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.TauSq.org/
