It is very real, and if I have to, I'll commit the #define junk I railed against to get it back. Please, let's get some progress. I have some time to help. Yes, thank you Warner, that is also my problem. As I wrote some weeks ago (05/28/2012) when starting this thread, I am using FreeBSD as a scientific desktop because of its good scaling properties. For some years now, FreeBSD fits all our needs with R, SAGA GIS, PostgreSQL and some more. If I would not be able to run upcoming versions of R on FreeBSD any more, that would be really, really hard :-( Rainer > Warner
