Hello, I didn't try Belenix for half a year and am not 100% up-to-date when it comes to x86/x64. But I interpret your description, as if your version of libm depends on SSE2 and doesn't find native hardware support for it in your cpu (I actually thought the later P6's / Coppermines had SSE2 already, don't they? Or did it only come with Tualatin or afterwards PIV, while PIII only has SSE1, versus MMX on P-Pro and PII?). Anyways, this seems to be a known issue, I recommend you to browse the mail list's archives or to google for it. You also find it being mentioned on Belenix's site: http://www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site/?q=news "A solution to the Math library SSE2 issue that haunted earlier BeleniX releases has been put in place. The FreeBSD math library has been re-included since it does not require SSE2. However it is used only on machines where the SSE2 capability is absent." Hope this helps until someone from the Belenix team comes along (and gives you better details). --martin
