Aha, I think I know. You don't have GMP installed (check for /usr/include/gmp.h or /sw/include/gmp.h). You're running on pure Smalltalk LargeIntegers. Doesn't look too bad now, does it (except for the crashes)? :-P Paolo _______________________________________________ help-smalltalk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-smalltalk
