Hello, This reminds me, atlas doesn't build on PPC. debian/config.expect needs the attached patch, and then it fails while trying to compile tune/sysinfo/Linux/muladd.c: the compiler eats up all available memory (96 MB) and swap (135 MB), then X crashes and boots me back to gdm!
It's such a little file too, maybe it's trying to unroll some recursion and infinite looping? I haven't really looked into it. It would be nice to get this working, I know my 160 MHz 603e can go faster than the 13 MFlops it gets with blas1. :-) Zeen, -Adam P. Welcome to the best software in the world today cafe!
