Unless for compatibility reasons (pre Irix 6) you should use the modern ABIs. The o32 (-32) and n32 compilers are actually different beasts with most of the new work and bug fixes going into the n32/64 compilers. You will almost always get better performance with the new ABIs since they support instruction sets for the newer (R44 and beyond) chip sets. I've also run into problems recently with some libraries not being supplied in the o32 format (I can't remember which). BTW, recompiling against the Motif 1.2 development fixed the bomb on Control Panel opening. Mark -- Mark Bolstad Manager, Visualization and Scientific Computing Lockheed-Martin Services Inc.
