Re: IDL 5.2 crashes with Linux Mandrake 6.0

[Olivier ARCHER <oarcher(at)ifremer.fr>]

Hi,
Here an other way to get around the problem.
The goal is to define the setfpucw function

__setpucw.c:
                       
void __setfpucw(void)
{
}
void __libc_init(void)
{
}
void _dl_symbol_value()
{
}
                       
Compile it:
#gcc -fPIC -c __setfpucw.c 
#ld -shared -o __setfpucw.so -assert pure-text __setfpucw.o 
                       
define the LD_PRELOAD environnement variable before launching
idl:                       
#export LD_PRELOAD=/?/?/__setfpucw.so

This tip work for me (RH6).
