Wrote on the subject of SGI Cube Demo reloaded at Aug. 2, 2008, 12:06 p.m...

Hello all,

Is it possible to find any piece of software which is optimized for the R8000 CPU?
I mean freeware or demo software, preferably for IRIX 6.2.

I recently have returned my POWER Indigo2 to life (it has 64 MB RAM, 4GB disk, GR3-Elan, floptical etc) so it would be very nice to have any software to show machine's possibilities.

Thank you for your interesting informations. I probably have to use the ATLAS in my code so I will try... (I have a small finite element analysis software)

Is your compiled ATLAS available somewhere?

Hello and sorry for the delay.

Many thanks for the app.

I tried it with my O2cam (with the -o switch) and it captures something (I used the yuv file). But Mplayer refuses to play the saved file. Is it a normal behaviour?

You are still lucky. I did the same with my iMac G5. It installed the update but the iMac hanged after reboot. :-(

I finally downloaded combo updates and installed them manually step by step (10.3.5->10.3.6, 10.3.6->10.3.7 and so on).

Hello,
Thanks much! It works on my O2 (IRIX 6.5.27) so it must be 32-bit binary. I can even receive messages from the IPmessenger (I have tried the version 0.9 on my old PowerPC iMac)! Only the sending to that IPmessenger don't work for me.

I think so. It's mips4 binary so it should work on SGIs with at least the R5000 processors (it don't work on my R4400 Indy :-(

...)

geo wrote: this will let us know which has the bug, is it on my Motif version, or the other IPmessnger.

It is probably a bun in that IP messenger verison (it's a native Mac colne, not a Gtk one). I tried the X11R6 verison (xipsmsg) on the iMac and there are no problems with sending.

So who needs USB, SFU/NFS, SAMBA, FTP to transfer your files like pictures, CAD drawings, MP3s, movies from modern machines to our beloved UNIX if we have this very light tool

As of the moment, this version only can accept files. Coming soon are:
* download folders
* sending files
* sending folders

That's nice, thanks! I will try to find a Windows box for testing... ;-)

I uploaded firefox 3.0.19 and it is available in beta now:

I named the package beta, because it has still a problem in the svg code I have to fix. But if you don't want to display svg graphics it works fine so far. The package will coexist with the current firefox2 release. You can start the new firefox with firefox3.

It is a gcc4.7 build and only a -O2 build on the current state. It based on the patch dexter1 developed three yeas ago. He was so close, but he interpreted the debug output in a wrong way and did not look at the right place. He had only to disable the complete senseless feature safe-browsing. Enjoy firefox3.

Fantastic! I will try it as soon as possible. Many thanks!
