I noticed two other ports that don't even seem to build with clang, but generally everything else seems to be working. I noticed a previous message from a day or two ago regarding gcc and nvidia, but I lost the message. I'm in the middle of moving my mail system to a 'more' horizontally based system, so it's kind of like building a boat around you while floating down a river. Anyhow, I read an article this morning about AMD opening up drivers, that sounds cool, going to check it out. -- Waitman Gobble San Jose California USA +1.5108307875
