Hi,
I use some mathematical source-files (lp_solve) and they work fine when
compiled by gcc 2.7.0 on sun and also when compiled by djgpp V1.x (gcc 2.6.3)
but the program chrashes sometimes (floating point eception) when it is
compiled by 
djgpp V2 (gcc 2.7.2). The computer is running with win95. 

As far as I understand the news, that is caused by a bug in the mathematical
library of djgpp V2. or is it caused bei win95? 

If possible, I don't want to debug and rewrite the code of the source-files,
because I did not write them.

Can anybody tell me: Is there any workaround or do I have to use djgpp V1
instead? Is it possible just to replace the math-library of V2 by that of V1?

I suppose the last possibility is right. But which files must be replaced?

Thanks and bye bye,
 
Wolfgang Winkler
