no prob. Actually on Solaris you will always get 'i386' even if you are running on a top of the line AMD Opteron 16-core machine with 8 sockets. It still reports that it is a i386 and not x86_64 or even amd64. Now isainfo and isalist are a whole other matter. Personally I'd like to see conffigure take advantage of that data as it is much more rich. On sparc you get this sort of data : # isalist -a sparcv9+vis sparcv9 sparcv8plus+vis sparcv8plus sparcv8 sparcv8-fsmuld sparcv7 sparc # isainfo -v 64-bit sparcv9 applications 32-bit sparc applications On some old pentium box you get this : Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.8 Generic February 2000 $ $ isalist -a pentium_pro+mmx pentium_pro pentium+mmx pentium i486 i386 i86 $ isainfo -v 32-bit i386 applications $ Dennis -- -- http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x1D936C72FA35B44B +-------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Dennis Clarke | Solaris and Linux and Open Source | | dcla...@blastwave.org | Respect for open standards. | +-------------------------+-----------------------------------+
