This will take a while. The makefile log shows many compiler warnings that we've never encountered before. Consequently, we need to go over them with a fine tooth comb. Unfortunately, I'm busy with something else at the moment, so I'm afraid you'll have to be patient. In the meantime, would you tell me a little about IRIX 6.0 (we don't have it here)? 1. What is the output from a `uname -s'? Is it IRIX or IRIX64? 2. Is there an IRIX 6.0 (as opposed to an IRIX64 6.0)? 3. What are the significant compilation and link environments? 4. What does setting SGI_ABI to `-64' do? 5. What's the difference between an IP20 CPU and an IP21? -------- Steve Emmerson <address@hidden>
