They seem to be related to the fortran compiler, because when installing gcc 3.2 ang using g77-32 for the fortran compilations the build works. I have not tried gcc 3.3. Do You know of any changes in g77 that might have caused this incompatibility? The error symptom is that the build works, but when running Scilab, simple operations such as 1 diveded by 2 hangs (the program seems to get stuck in a loop, since it is using a lot of processor time). I do not have enough insight into Scilab to know what fortran code gets called. I see that a gcc 4.0 have emerged in the FeeBSD ports. Is this a prerelease version (I could not find any info on the gcc website about a 4.0 release)? I noticed that there are one version with the new gfortran compiler. Do You have any idea regarding which of the two fortran compilers will have the best chance of building Scilab? Regards David Steen
