I have one source that I was trying to compile that usually compiles fine on all my FBSD boxes. On this one machine, I took out the math coprocessor and put it in another box. Then a bit later I brought up 2.1.7.1 on it and it seems to be running fine. Then I tried a tex compile from native sources (which usually runs fine on my 486 boxes), and on this partcular 386 box gcc came back with parsing errors after including a second level of header file. I tried different ram, different processor speeds, different wait states, cache/no-cache, etc., and none of that fixed the problem. The only thing I can attribute it to is the presence or absence of the coprocessor, which seems strange. Any pointers appreciated. Thanks Bob Keys rdkeys@seedlab1.cropsci.ncsu.edu
