Title: RE: irix 6.5 install help

Hi Brian,

Thanks for replying. I'm using IRIX 6.5.27 on an ONYX 4 visualisation system and I've recently successfully compiled the GNU Scientific Library using the 64-bit libraries. As you have suggested I don't think it really matters if I use 32 or 64 bit.

The options I gave the configure command are --with-user=USER --with-group=GROUP --without-server

I also had CC=cc at the beginning.

Totally beginner question: Do I want to build static or shared libraries?

Thanks,

Raymond.

Raymond,

I don't recompile all that often but will help as I can.

What version of IRIX ?
What architecture system ?
ie you may find that O2 systems do not have 64 bit libraries installed.

Since amanda is largely a driver, organizer, doesn't do a lot of
computational work on its own, you may be able to get away with
32 bit compilation without any measurable loss of performance, its
really the xfsdump, tar, gzip that eat the cpu up, not amanda itself.

What options did you feed the the # configure utility ?
