Goto http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=gsl to pull the logs for the gsl package. As the package build process calls 'make check', these logs are fairly long and detailed. Among the platforms that compiled gsl-1.0 successfully (i.e. i386, ia64 [aka "itanium"], alpha, arm, mips, mipsel, sparc), the ia64 port uses a gcc 2.96: edd@caballero:~$ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/ia64-linux/2.96/specs gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Debian GNU/Linux IA64 experimental) edd@caballero:~$ uname -a Linux caballero 2.4.9-itanium-smp #1 SMP Wed Nov 21 13:44:54 MST 2001 ia64 unknown Now, as everybody knows, what Red Hat calls "gcc 2.96" is probably not what the rest of the world calls "gcc 2.96" so you might want to check for an upgraded gcc toolchain there. I can't think of a platform (other than hppa) that enforces gcc-3.0. Unfortunately, hppa currently has toolchain issues so there is no attempt beyond the failure of 0.9.4 back in October. I do have other packages with issues on that platform. Hope this helps, Dirk (Debian maintainer for GSL) -- Good judgment comes from experience; experience comes from bad judgment. -- F. Brooks
