good day by chance, I have an Itanium machine under my control. it is a (rather-old) HP i2000 Workstation with Itanium 1. this is what "cat /proc/cpuinfo" says:
processor : 0 vendor : GenuineIntel arch : IA-64 family : Itanium model : 0 revision : 6 archrev : 0 features : standard cpu number : 0 cpu regs : 4 cpu MHz : 733.343996 itc MHz : 733.343996 BogoMIPS : 729.80 I have equipped it with a Debian 3.0, and this is what "uname -a" says: Linux ariete 2.4.19-itanium-smp #1 SMP Wed Oct 23 20:05:46 MDT 2002 ia64 unknown finally, this is what "perl -v" says: This is perl, v5.6.1 built for ia64-linux and what "gcc --version" says: 2.96 I'm writing all this to you because, as you can imagine, one of the first things I've done on it was to download and compile parrot :-) well, everything built fine (except for some quirks in the docs due to the fact that my perldoc insists on exiting with errorcode 1 instead of 0). I ran "make test" and the final results are: Failed Test Status Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- t/op/gc.t 3 768 8 3 37.50% 1, 3-4 t/op/stacks.t 1 256 56 1 1.79% 6 t/op/string.t 1 256 119 1 0.84% 90 t/pmc/intlist.t 3 768 9 3 33.33% 3-4, 6 t/pmc/io.t 2 512 20 2 10.00% 2, 8 27 subtests skipped.
