If you do not have a math co-processor, and you need the best accuracy, I recommend that you change this option to GPL_MATH_EMULATE to use the superior GNU math support, which is not included by default for licensing reasons. " does that mean that if I insert a line: options GPL_MATH_EMULATE #Support for x87 via new math emulator I will need to find and install the GNU math emulator? If so, can someone supply explicit directions on where to get and how and where to install such a thing? tia ===================================== James Gill * http://www.topsecret.net ===================================== To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
