Hello, I am a new user to fink (and an x-NetBSD user,) but I have had my fair share of problems getting ATLAS to compile on my machine (dual usb iBook 500 w/ OSX 10.1.4,) but I finally figured out how to compile it several weeks ago. I was a bit baffled at first since there is no G3 listing, only 603's, 604's, and G4's. If you don't specify both the OS and arch, atlas won't know what to do, and stop the compile midway into everything. So you have to tell it that you are using a 604e (or perhaps 603e.) I read somewhere that the G3's core is basically just a 603x or 604x processor somewhere (I believe you can find that out @ macslash or something of the sort.) I don't remember specifically what CPU I gave it for it to work, but I'm certain that if you use one of the 60Xx's, you'll be set. I had recently repartitioned/reformatted my HD so I could also run YDL 2.2 in addition to OSX, so I no longer have the configuration on hand, and I really don't want to compile it right now (it takes _forever_) If you tell the atlas config the right amount of L2 cache though, it'll do all the tests significantly faster, so for anyone trying out ATLAS and running OSX and you don't know how much L2 cache you have, go to the Apple system profiler and under memory it'll tell you. Most new G4's have 256k (they used to have 1 meg, but I guess it was too expensive, so now they are using L3 cache, which is essentially [relatively] cheap DDR memory that isn't inside the processor itself). And if you have a white iBook like myself, its also 256k.
cheers, ethan ps- does anyone know howto get gnuplot working with aquaterm without recompiling gnuplot? I hate having to use XFree86 when I can avoid it.
