Re: [ydl-gen] Noisy fan on Power G5 and YDL 6.2
When my dual 2.0 G5 tower was still alive (died w/memory controller problem in '11) I never noticed fan problems except with the first several G5 releases from YDL. I had YDL6 (6.1 I *think*) on it last and it was ok. The initial releases when the G5 first came out had zero fan control, and the box might have taken off given wings and wheels. -Rob > He mentioned that it's a "Power G5 1.8GHz" which would be a G5 desktop, > not > a PowerBook. > > I don't recall if fan speed control was ever fully functional on the G5 > tower.

Re: [ydl-gen] thank you
Sorry for the top-post, but...
Have you tried 'openssl dgst -sha1 ' ? I'm not in front of my OS
X box right now so I don't remember if it works the same way there, but
this is how I do the checksums on my Linux box. I believe some versions
of openssl equate that with the 'openssl sha1 ' command you tried
below as well.

Re: [ydl-gen] IBM XLC/C++ and XLF for YDL on Cell
Warren, If I remember correctly it is something like $800 for XLC/C++ and $1200 for XLF , but *please* don't quote me on that. It has been quite some time since I checked prices. The last time I did a bake off of the xlc vs gcc was 5-6 years ago on a Apple dual G4 box (bought ~2000, don't remember the exact version), and xlc stomped all over gcc in math ops. I believe it has closed the gap since then. If you need support for some of the Dec extensions to Fortran-77 your choices may be limited. I only found IBM's compiler and Absoft that would handle some of the code I was porting. -Rob - Original Message - From: "Warren Nagourney" To: "Discussion List for Yellow Dog Linux User Topics" Sent: Friday, March 6, 2009 2:58:04 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [ydl-gen] IBM XLC/C++ and XLF for YDL on Cell Kai, These are time-limited trial products.
