Here's the funny thing -- I tried this build several times in the past without luck. I even have ImageMagick-5.5.7 unzipped in a directory under my build tree. I just tried building it again when I read your post and (as I now recall) it went into and infinite loop during the ./configure. Something like:
 
 
  
   Code:

 I remember getting stuck here once before. Well I just got a fresh copy of rss-0.7.6 source and tried again from a temp build directory. THE RESULT:
 
 
 
  
   Code:
   
    Select all
   
  
  
   checking magick/api.h usability... yes
   
   checking magick/api.h presence... no
   
   configure: WARNING: magick/api.h: accepted by the compiler, rejected by the preprocessor!
   
   configure: WARNING: magick/api.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
   
   configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
   
   configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to bug-autoconf@gnu.org. ##
   
   configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------------ ##
   
   checking for magick/api.h... no
   
  
  
 
 
 My settings are:
 
 
  
   Code:
   
    Select all
   
  
  
   setenv CC cc
   
   setenv CFLAGS '-O2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/freeware/include'
   
   setenv LDFLAGS '-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/freeware/lib32 -L/usr/lib32'
   
   setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH '/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/freeware/lib32/pkgconfig'
   
   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH '/usr/local/lib:usr/freeware/lib32:/usr/lib32'
   
   
   ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-3dnow --disable-sound
   
  
  
 
 I just went ahead with the "gmake" command and ignored the error message (which I what I usually do went things go wrong).:wink:
 
 
 
 
  Now for the gcc/MIPSPro question
 
 : That's a funny thing as well. If you use MIPSPro (I only have a C license, so the C++ is g++ anyways), it will chug along until it hits
 
  reallyslick/c_src/euphoria.c
 
 and then gmake will bomb with the ERROR
 
 
 
  
   Code:
   
    Select all
   
  
  
   c-1079 cc: ERROR File = euphoria.c, Line = 278
   
   A type specifier is expected.
   
   
   float ATTR_ALIGN(16) up[4], right[4], crossvec[4];
   
   ^
   
   
   cc-1065 cc: ERROR File = euphoria.c, Line = 278
   
   A semicolon is expected at this point.
   
   
   float ATTR_ALIGN(16) up[4], right[4], crossvec[4];
   
   ^
   
   
   cc-1020 cc: ERROR File = euphoria.c, Line = 286
   
   The identifier "up" is undefined.
   
   
   up[3] = right[3] = crossvec[3] = 0;
   
   ^
   
   
   cc-1020 cc: ERROR File = euphoria.c, Line = 286
   
   The identifier "right" is undefined.
   
   
   up[3] = right[3] = crossvec[3] = 0;
   
   ^
   
   
   cc-1020 cc: ERROR File = euphoria.c, Line = 286
   
   The identifier "crossvec" is undefined.
   
   
   up[3] = right[3] = crossvec[3] = 0;
   
   ^
   
   
   5 errors detected in the compilation of "euphoria.c".
   
  
  
 
 
 Alright. The first time around I went in and removed the offending ATTR_ALIGN which is a macro that expands to
 
 
  
   Code:
   
    Select all
   
  
  
   ./src/driver.h:8:#define ATTR_ALIGN(x) __attribute__ ((aligned(x)))
   
   ./include/sse.h:22:#define ATTR_ALIGN(x) __attribute__ ((aligned(16)))
   
  
  
 
 which I guess is some kind of gcc built-in function.
 
  Now here's the trippy part....
 
 if you edit
 
  reallyslick/c_src/Makefile
 
 and change line #47 from "cc" to "gcc" and then rerun "gmake" from the command line you'll get:
 
 
 
  
   Code:
   
    Select all
   
  
  
   source='euphoria.c' object='euphoria.o' libtool=no \
   
   depfile='.deps/euphoria.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/euphoria.TPo' \
   
   depmode=sgi /bin/sh ../../depcomp \
   
   gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../include -I../../src    -O2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/freeware/include  -c `test -f 'euphoria.c' || echo './'`euphoria.c
   
   gcc: .deps/euphoria.TPo: No such file or directory
   
   gcc: unrecognized option `-MDupdate'
   
   gmake: *** [euphoria.o] Error 1
   
   holmes4:~/temp/rss-glx_0.7.6/reallyslick/c_src:gmake
   
   source='stringify.c' object='stringify.o' libtool=no \
   
   depfile='.deps/stringify.Po' tmpdepfile='.deps/stringify.TPo' \
   
   depmode=sgi /bin/sh ../../depcomp \
   
   gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../include -I../../src    -O2 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/freeware/include  -c `test -f 'stringify.c' || echo './'`stringify.c
   
   gcc: .deps/stringify.TPo: No such file or directory
   
   gcc: unrecognized option `-MDupdate'
   
   gmake: *** [stringify.o] Error 1
   
  
  
 
 
 It's crazy, but then just toggle the Makefile line back to 'cc' and run 'gmake' again. You will next bump into a identical problem with
 
  lattice.c
 
 . Just toggle the Makefile CC varaible back and forth again and it will build too.
 
  Too weird
 
 , but both executables run fine, and the remainder builds without incident. So to answer your question --
 
  it's both!
 
  As for the ImageMagick issue, here's a clue:
 
 
 
  As for the ImageMagick issue, here's a clue:
 
 there used to be a note on the RSS-GLX web site that MatrixView used a function only found in the newer verion of libpng, which caused me some grief on a previous attempt. I even went and got the new libpng and libz, which built fine as I noted in the news blog -- but was later surprised went nothing seems to link to them. My guess, the version 0.7.6 of the source is really a
 
  0.7.6a
 
 modified version that removed some of the extra library dependencies.
 
 
 Sorry, for the long winded answer, but as you can tell it really was
 
  just dumb luck
 
 this time around and not genius on my part. I am, and probably always be just a hack as this sort of thing, not a pro or even a real serious student. Good thing it's just computers and not rocket science.
