Mark Dickinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: The test_math failure may well be due to a libm bug: tanh(-0.0) might be incorrectly (judging by the BSD man pages) dropping the negative sign from the negative zero.
In the output of ./configure, there should be a line that looks like: checking whether tanh preserves the sign of zero... yes I'm guessing that on your machine you get a "no" instead of a "yes" there, indicating that tanh(-0.0) is 0.0 instead of -0.0 on your platform. Is this the case? ---------- nosy: +marketdickinson _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4204> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
