(64bit kernel, gcc, linker, libraries; "configure" rightly sees a 64-bit architecture...) I'd like to have a 64bit ocamlopt to run my programs that would greatly benefit from fast large integer arithmetic. By the way, it would be great to also have a BigNum library that uses the Altivec/VMX capabilities of the 970FX... another project... I also have another ppc computer with a 64bit kernel and a mixed 32bit/64bit userland (SUSE). ocamlopt compiles in 32bit on this computer ("configure" says it's a 32bit architecture (which is good... since with SUSE linux, gcc is by default 32bit) and I did ./configure -host powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu because it doesn't know what is powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu for ocamlopt) and it works well... (3.08.2, not 3.08.1, I guess that's part of the bug fixes) Gregory Lafitte On Mon, 20 Dec 2004, Sven Luther wrote: > Well, what OS are you running on it ?
