Re: [GENERAL] installation: cc and gcc how to?

2004-07-18 Thread Robert E. Bruccoleri
Dear Nil, Yes, the important thing is to use the MIPS compilers, not gcc. You have your choice of compiler environments -- I suggest using the 64-bit compilation model (CC="cc -64") -- you can use much bigger buffer caches that way if you have sufficient RAM. --Bob > > Hello Everybody, >

Re: Fwd: [GENERAL] Indexes and Tables: Growth and Treatment
