Re: [Bug-gnubg] (compile) error: 0.90* and latest SNAPSHOTs won't build with 3d-board on gentoo

[Mitch Mitchum]

Dear Michal Petch, dear Christian Anthon, dear mailing-list

first of all thank you very much for your answer.

Disable sse for 0.90 works to the point, that gnubg launches with the same 
error as the snapshot, therefore disable sse with snapshot is probably not 
necessary, but i still used it for safety reasons.

I did use autogen before (since I found it in the gnubg-for-ubuntu tutorial). 
Now I did run:

> ./autogen.sh
> ./configure --enable-sse=no
> make
> make install

on the snapshot and it still won't work. Error is still (as with 0.90 now)

I did sent both of the files to Michael Petch. I didn't know whether the 
mailing list would tolerate attachments, so this is an extra mail to him. 

Last, i did use Christian Anthons suggestion and ran gnubg under gdb. (i did 
compiled gnubg with CFLAG and CXXFLAG -ggdb)

This is the outcome:

This GDB was configured as "powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu"...

I do have no idea what this means though.
Thank you very much.
