Dear Developers, I have hosting space at Host Monster, a subsidiary of Blue Host, with very good bandwidth and hard disk space. I would like to use that to provide a master mirror service for Fink. I have SSH access and other such facilities to my webspace. However, I may need more step-by-step information on setting it up than it appears to be available from the Fink wiki site - http://wiki.finkproject.org/index.php/Fink:FinkMirrors . Please get back to me. With many thanks. Best regards, M. - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Unfortunately the bus error I encounter leaves gdb useless to me :-( In a nut shell, I'm unable to execute A\B or mldivide(A,B) in octave for more than 96 eqns/unknowns. It is has been pointed out that using gcc 4.0.1 (Apple's vecLib) will conflict with gfortran 4.1+, due to type mismatches resulting from how gfortran treats functions. I haven't looked at the detail, but when I googled, gfortran ff2c type mismatch quite a bit showed up. The suggested solution is to add -ff2c to the fortran compile parameters. I can't vouch for any of this, but if someone can tell me what to change in the atlas.info to pass -ff2c to gfortran, I can test suggested solution and report back.

Please file a proper bug-report for your problem too (You don't show any output, or context, so no way for me to be more precise ..)

Hi just to let you know, so far gcj in gcc43-1000 does not work. jack howarth did suggest a fix ( calling contrib/download_ecj in the source tree before compiling) but something failed. I will re-try in the next days. matthias On 20.03.2008, at 00:35, Ben Abbott wrote: On Mar 14, 2008, at 2:46 AM, Martin Costabel wrote: Jean-François Mertens wrote: [] but right, if true it would encourage a fast update of anything in fink to gcc43 I too have come round to the conclusion that this is indeed the best plan for action at this moment.

Revision -1001 is out now. I'm not sure if that fixes gcj (since it will take me until Sunday actually to build it on my machine).
