How was it compiled for the alpha? That is, what set of CFLAGS were used? For the alpha, which does not have full IEEE math support in hardware, slang needs to be compiled with software IEEE emulation, i.e., CFLAGS = -mieee or CFLAGS = -ieee_with_no_inexact Thanks, --John The buildd logs are available online: First, for 2.0.3-1, whichs works on Alpha: http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=slang2&ver=2.0.3-1&arch=alpha&stamp=1119141299&file=log&as=raw has: ou are compiling SLANG with the following compiler configuration: CC = gcc CFLAGS = -g -O2 -mieee -Wall -W -pedantic -Winline -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes LDFLAGS = -Wl,-export-dynamic ELF_CC = $(CC) ELF_LINK = $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -shared -Wl,-soname# ELF_CFLAGS= $(CFLAGS) -fPIC -mieee While the problematic 2.0.4-7 build is: http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=slang2&ver=2.0.4-7&arch=alpha&stamp=1127147388&file=log&as=raw CC = gcc CFLAGS = -g -O2 -mieee -Wall -W -pedantic -Winline -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wshadow -Wstrict-prototypes LDFLAGS = -Wl,-export-dynamic ELF_CC = $(CC) ELF_LINK = $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -shared -Wl,-soname No Change there :-( Regards Alastair ELF_CFLAGS= $(CFLAGS) -fPIC -mieee
