I'll check what you've described on this issue on your other mail next week. Should I fail to make a clean fix I'll mention the problem and your command in the PROBLEMS file. > Testing on Solaris 9 yielded very strange results - as usual with > Solaris 9.

I'm not very familiar with Solaris, so first a general question: what is the most 'important' Solaris-like distribution? I've understood that Solaris 11 is no longer maintained by Oracle as an open-source projet and that the project is now closed source. Did you install your environment from the Oracle download page (https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/downloads/install-2245079.html) ? Looking for a free variant of Solaris 11 I've tested on OpenIndiana expecting similar results than on Solaris 11 but did not encounter the problem on the 'hypot' function. Build was OK, but 'make check' (rightly) failed on the hdtbl examples check as font_n.ps and font_x.ps had only 1 page. Regards, Bertrand
