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

27 subtests skipped.
Failed 5/59 test scripts, 91.53% okay. 10/942 subtests failed, 98.94% okay.

a complete transcript of the "make test" output is available for the
interested at:

http://dada.perl.it/parrot-ia64-test.txt

I tried "make mops", just for fun, but it failed with:

make[1]: Entering directory `/root/parrot/examples/assembly'
../../parrot -o mops.pbc mops.pasm
PackFile_pack segment 'DIRECTORY' used size 166 but reported 168
make[1]: *** [mops.pbc] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/parrot/examples/assembly'
make: *** [examples/assembly/mops.pbc] Error 2

I'm going to setup a tinderbox client on the machine.
should someone need more information about the machine and/or the
test environment, just ask :-)

hope this helps!

cheers,
Aldo
