This is a kernel bug related to FP emulation. It is fixed in 2.6.16. Once the buildds are updated and the relevant postgres packages add mips/mipsel again everything should build fine. For package upgrades it might be advisable to check the version of the running kernel. Thiemo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
