Hello again,
I changed my GCC from 4.4.2 to 3.4.3 and it worked!
Here's my ./configure options:
./configure --prefix=/usr/gnu --with-pic
--enable-shared --with-gnu-ld
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --with-as
--with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas
Does anyone know *why* this would work?
Thanks!

Hello Dr. Kirkby,
thank you for this information.
It is a pity they leave OpenSolaris out. I'm going to
complain about
it myself, plus I put some flyers into TU-Berlin's

you are missing the point. There is no port required. The only difference

Last time I looked there was no Skype for Solaris. I just looked for a Google

without panics. This confirms me

What do I select as the server - the default is jabber.org, but I assume I will
need to change that to a Google one?
Does this support VIOP or just instant messaging? It looks like the later,
which is no use to me.

Yes, it's their choice, but it is based on demand.
There's absolutely no reason not to tell Mathworks
that you are interested in a Solaris x86 version.
I've asked them. Perhaps others will do likewise.

Currently, there is no way to force a processor to a
lower frequency. A
feature we'll be adding to Solaris soon.
As for what determining what frequencies your
processors are running at,
you can find that out from the cpu_info kstat.
$ kstat -m cpu_info -s current_clock_Hz
Thank you
