Re: Bug in Linux/AXP Mesa 3.0?

[Peter Petrakis <peterpan wn net>]

I can't even get that far. With the Mesa I built I get on execution.
(more)

General Initialization
======= ==============
Processing config file: /usr/local/lib/FlightGear/system.fgfsrc
Processing config file: /root/.fgfsrc
Processing command line arguments
Opening a window: 640x480
Mesa X11
General Initialization
======= ==============
FG_ROOT = /usr/local/lib/FlightGear

Initializing splash screen
Floating point exception

Hmmm. D's rpms have optimizations for the 21164. Did you get any FP
exceptions at all?
There's a beta version of Mesa out that does not build at all on Alpha
but it may have corrected that method you found. It's on
contrib.redhat.com
