Hello Bill, thanks for replying. My system is: $ uname -a Linux tosharch 2.6.31-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 10 19:48:17 CET 2009 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
so it's a 32bit. Old? It's no older than 3 years, which (sigh) I guess is old in computer terms. I did find out something. I downloaded as you suggested mpir 1.3.0-rc3 and it compiled without errors. 'make check' also didn't give errors and reported "All 3 tests passed". I was looking at the ./configure output and comparing it to the one from the sage compilation and I spotted this difference: mpir 1.2.p9 (from sage's sources): using ABI="64" CC="gcc -std=gnu99" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -mtune=core2 -O2 -pipe" CPPFLAGS="" CXX="g++" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -mtune=core2 -O2 -pipe" MPN_PATH=" x86_64/core2 x86_64 generic" mpir 1.3.0-rc3: using ABI="32" CC="gcc -std=gnu99" CFLAGS="-m32 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -mtune=core2 -march=core2" CPPFLAGS="" MPN_PATH=" x86/core2 x86 generic" is this relevant? I'll ask sage people how to get it to use ABI=32 and see if it works regards, Renato -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mpir-devel" group.
