Hi
I've got what I think is a weird (and very annoying) problem. I am
reletively new to this, so please forgive any ignorance:-).
I have some code that runs fine on My SparcStation at work, and want to
get it to work at home. Everything compiles fine, but when I run it I
always get a floating point exception. The weird thing is, if I run the
program in gdb, it works fine. I assume this should tell me something,
but I don't know what it is. I guess the thing that really gets my goat
is that this stuff works fine at work. I realize that Linux and gcc are
different (as are 386's), so I expect differences, but not complete failures.
My setup: 33MHz 486, 16MB RAM, Linux SLS release (GCC 2.2.2, Xfree 1.0 ?),
running X-Windows.
Can anyone shed a little light for me? Thanks a million.
