To: hackers@freebsd.org Date: Fri, 23 Jun 1995 20:44:36 +0200 (MET DST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 887 Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk I have tried to build "GroupKit" with tcl 7.4 and tk4.0b4, but with not much success. tcl 7.4 as distributed fails some tests with a FP exception. The documentation suggests a fix which has to do with the rounding mode and disable the fpmask. With this fix tcl completes the tests, but then tk fails several tests (here again there appear to be errors in the FP calculations: a lot of results are off by 1 WRT the expected values). Does anyone have any experience in running these newer tcl/tk versions on FreeBSD 2.0.5R ?
