Al,

I'm using Gentoo on Pentium, and I'm doing a source installation for my
account only.  Yes, there is an ebuild of this package, but it was only
created recently (on January 1st) and we didn't upgrade since.

The installation itself went absolutely fine at all stages.  It's the
testrealtime.c
that's problematic.  As funny as it is, I also got a binary called
testrealtime,
but my own attempts to build the exact same thing had miserably failed.

By any chance, did you try to build this file from source yourself?  After I
dug
deeper into the code, I started wondering if this was ever tested under gcc
3.4,
the version I am currently using.  Having made some trivial changes, I
finally
got the code to compile and run, so I am attaching the modified
testrealtime.cc
file.  This modified version appears to run with current CVS snapshot, as
well.
Maybe try to compile it and, if all goes well, suggest it to the original
maintainer
of this package?

What I still don't understand is how the initial binary called
'testrealtime' was
created.  At this point, I strongly doubt it was created from source at
installation
time.


Best regards,

Nickolai
