MPIR should detect all known intel and amd CPU's (MPIR 1.3 will also
detect via and atom's), but for some reason it doesn't detect yours.

To perform the detection it asks the CPU what it is, using the CPUID
instruction.

2 possiblities:

1) The CPUID instruction is returning the wrong thing

2) It isn't in our list.

To check the latter, can you tell us what you get when you issue the
equivalent of

cat /proc/cpuinfo

if OpenSolaris has such a thing.

Bill.

Bill,

cat /proc/cpuinfo

is not something in Solaris.

I must admit, as to not knowing the best way to get the CPU information.


Here's output of a couple of possibly relevant commands on OpenSolaris. But your code seems to find my chip Intel Xeon OK, but not Jaap's processor.

I assume hacking the configure script to indicate some low-end 64-bit processor might be a short term fix, to allow Jaap to get further.


On a Sun SPARC running Solaris 10, the output below shows the exact processor.

drkir...@swan:[~] $ /usr/sbin/prtconf | grep SPARC
    SUNW,UltraSPARC-III+ (driver not attached)
    SUNW,UltraSPARC-III+ (driver not attached)

On Open Solaris x86, there is not such detailed information available. You can work out I have 8 processors (really 4 cores, each core with two threads), and the speed, but that is about it.
