that sucks. > Oh, great. So I can't build guile because I can't trust GMP. So > nobody uses guile on Intel Macs? Is there a workaround?? I'd take a look at NetBSD's pkgsrc. It runs on darwin. Even if you don't use pkgsrc, its a reasonable place to look for patches. ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/pkgsrc/devel/gmp/README.html Looking in there it seems you might be able to build on intel macs if you set MPN_PATH="generic" in your configure environment. As far as guile, there are a handful of patches I needed to get it going. Not sure how many may or may not affect darwin. -Dan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
