there seems to be some problem with printing numbers.
e.g. [noise~]->[env~]->[print] shows weird numbers, like "0+.3345" or "/4.909"

mistral.ai says that this is a "well known bug" on IRIX, and gives a couple of suggestions on how to fix it (none of which work of course; the time has yet to come when an LLM will give me a code suggestions that actually works).

i can reproduce the problem with this trivial program:
```C
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
   int i;
   for(i=30; i<=40; i++) {
      double f=(double)i;
      printf("%d\t%f\t%.1f\n", i, f, f);
   }
   return 1;
}
```

i thought that the problem might be related to using gcc, but apparently the issue persists when compiling with 'CC' (provided by MIPSpro; for unknown reasons this compiler appears to work, unlike the 'cc' (lower case) variant).

I'm currently trying to fix the MIPSpro installation, but i just noticed that even the software manager (swmgr) shows the same broken numbers, so I guess the problem lies deeper.




anyhow, on the plus side: i managed to fix the "expr" compilation; so now Pd-0.56-2 should be "feature complete", barring the audio/MIDI system which is still untested.

while you are trying to fix the networking issue, you could test whether audio is working with a simple [osc~ 440]->[dac~] patch running without a GUI...
