1 Just finished installing gentoo 1.4 beta on my ibook and
2 am approaching a working system. Great work -- congratulations
3 and thanks to the developers!!

5 I have one suggestion for the install guide: During kernel
6 compilation, the APM emulation can be compiled as a module
7 (CONFIG_PMAC_APM_EMU). However, the module is essential
8 for having a working sleep/wake up in X. Figuring this
9 out cost me a few hours...

11 Second, I have a puzzle: The attached C code mimics
12 something used in a routine belonging to the 'babel'
13 package. There is in fact an ebuild (in app-sci), but I have
14 compiled babel manually on about every conceivable platform
15 manually before. Getting babel to work is relatively important for
16 us, since a lot of other packages in our field (simulation
17 of biomolecules) use it.
18 Anyways, the compilation of babel dies with exactly the problems I
19 reproduce with the attached mytest.c file.

21 mytest.c:11: incompatible types in assignment
22
23 The same file compiles
24 fine under Gentoo Intel 1.2 (gcc 2.95.3) and 1.4 beta (gcc 3.2)
25 Any clues/suggestions?

27 Cheers,
