Package: g77-3.2 Version: 3.2.3-0pre6 Severity: normal I was building blas 1.1-10 from source on i386 with the following packages installed:
ii libc6 2.3.1-14 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone ii libc6-dev 2.3.1-14 GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Hea ii gcc 3.2.3-0 The GNU C compiler. ii gcc-3.2 3.2.3-0pre6 The GNU C compiler ii g77 3.2.3-0 The GNU Fortran 77 compiler. ii g77-3.2 3.2.3-0pre6 The GNU Fortran 77 compiler After BLAS had been compiled, the scripts automatically tested it. One of the tests failed: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd):$LD_LIBRARY_PATH cblas/testing/xzcblat1 > debian/test/xzcblat1 awk '/fail/ || /FAIL/ {exit 1}' debian/test/xzcblat1 || (cat debian/test/xzcblat1 && false) Complex CBLAS Test Program Results Test of subprogram number 1 CBLAS_ZDOTC ----- PASS ----- Test of subprogram number 2 CBLAS_ZDOTU ----- PASS ----- Test of subprogram number 3 CBLAS_ZAXPY ----- PASS ----- Test of subprogram number 4 CBLAS_ZCOPY ----- PASS ----- Test of subprogram number 5 CBLAS_ZSWAP ----- PASS ----- Test of subprogram number 6 CBLAS_DZNRM2 ----- PASS ----- Test of subprogram number 7 CBLAS_DZASUM ----- PASS ----- Test of subprogram number 8 CBLAS_ZSCAL ----- PASS ----- Test of subprogram number 9 CBLAS_ZDSCAL ----- PASS ----- Test of subprogram number 10 CBLAS_IZAMAX FAIL CASE N INCX INCY MODE COMP TRUE DIFFERENCE 10 4 1 9999 9999 3 2 1 10 4 2 9999 9999 3 2 1 make: *** [debian/test/xzcblat1] Error 1 The error also occurs with g77 3.2-0pre3, but not with 2.95.4-8, so I suspect it is a g77 bug. My attempts to locate the error in the assembly output failed as I am not familiar with Fortran's calling conventions. -- System Information Debian Release: testing/unstable Kernel Version: Linux Astalo 2.4.19-kon.astalo.1 #1 ke loka 23 07:29:48 EEST 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux
