OS X & MySQL
Anyone here have this working on OS X client? The OS X Server one didn't complaining about some pthreads error: # ./scripts/mysql_install_db dyld: ./bin/my_print_defaults can't open library: /usr/lib/libpthread.A.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) I'm trying the source d/l route ATM. Google is full of pubic beta / DPx shit. How many people here use OS X? Develop for it? (Even vaguely). Recommend any small-ish clued in lists to join? The omnigroup ones are too huge. If anyone's interested, I'll host the list if nothing's out there. (I just bought a cool(ish) domain for it too, OSXphiles.com :-) Paul

Now that is a fact. I think FFTW does a lot of runtime optimising and even stores it across runs (called 'wisdom', like the name). But then I think they're using Ocaml to write the C code, scary. Also uses whatever extra instructions are there for a each processor. http://www.fftw.org/ - FFTW is written in ANSI C. Most of the code, however, was automatically generated by a program called genfft, written in the Objective Caml dialect of ML. - FFTW uses an internal interpreter to adapt itself to a machine. - FFTW uses a code generator to produce highly-optimized routines for computing small transforms. -- Brad Bowman

well I did a bit better .. i think
Apr 28 08:23:17 restart.
Apr 28 09:44:45 restart.
Apr 28 11:26:23 restart.
apparenlty it should now be stable.
so yes, non-ideal ... but .. its still bloody good value. :)
any named experts out there? ... any ideas why named complains it cant
find hints for rootserver even though I have (I thought) set up as forward
only ...
my . zone looks like:
zone "." in {
type forward;
forward only;
forwarders { x.x.x.x; y.y.y.y; };
};
yet there is much muttering and grumbling in /var/log/messages about lack
of hints ... I thought the absence of a 'type cache' would prevent that
.. apparently not ( its bind 9.1 btw )
