Thanks for the info. It really looks like the 8.12 is more recent than the 8.54.3 after all... I'm going to try to install this one and I'll get back to you. As to GPU programming, I'm certainly there too! However, there is another obstacle on the way, the AMD Brook+ and Cal toolkits seem to be linked to glibc-2.2.5 !! That's way too old for Gentoo. Perhaps some Gentoo expert can point us the less inconvenient way to work around that one. -- Miguel Ramos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GnuPG ID 0xA006A14C
