hello everyone: we have a computer whose architecture is mips.I try to compile the emc(version: 1.2.0-rc1) on the machine. But I found there is a object file in /emc/src/emcmot .The file is smallmath.o , its format is X86. so I cannot link it on the mips machine. How can I do with it? or

I hope that 2.2 will be out this calendar year. When it is available, you'll have a choice of upgrading to it on your existing installation (though not if it's Ubuntu 5.10), or installing fresh from a new Live CD image that will be released at about the same time. Jeff --

Hi I asked many times before but couldn?t get answer. What is the solution for putting two 5i20 cards into one setup? It is impossible to put two 5i20 boards in one computer because space between two boards is so small that it is impossible ? no room for 50 pin connectors at all. The single and
