tried this on a powerpc power5 system, make check fails: make check-TESTS make[2]: Entering directory `/kernels/tools/gsl-1.8.90/vector' FAIL: gsl_vector_char_ispos on negative vector stride=1, N=10 [518] FAIL: gsl_vector_char_isneg on negative vector stride=1, N=10 [519] FAIL: gsl_vector_char_ispos on negative vector stride=2, N=10 [1295] FAIL: gsl_vector_char_isneg on negative vector stride=2, N=10 [1296] etc. FAIL: test etc. FAIL: test_static =================== 2 of 2 tests failed =================== make[2]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/kernels/tools/gsl-1.8.90/vector' Above is for gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.1.0 (SUSE Linux) as --version GNU assembler 2.16.91.0.5 20051219 (SUSE Linux) for SuSE SLES10 on a power5 pSeries machine, compiled in 32-bit mode. I wasn't able to immediately determine what the problem was. Aren't chars always unsigned, and therefore can't be negative? Yet the test case seems to be trying to assign a negative value to a char, unless I misunderstood the testcase. I'll try again in 64-bit mode shortly. --linas
