tried to run Matlab 3.5 in Executor, no FPU
Hi, I think I may have mentioned this before but I either didn't get
a reply or don't remember it. Anyone maintaining an archive of all
the traffic on this mailing list and is their an easy way to browse/
search through it? This would be useful...
So on to my question, I'm running a registered version of 1.1m of
E/linux on a 486DX33 with 20 Megs RAM and I've tried running Matlab
3.5 and it brings up an screen showing minimum requirements and what
is present in the system. It said that I had an SE/30 with an "new
CPU" (guess it couldn't classify it) and that I was running system
6.0.7 and had a color QD display but that I had no FPU (which is why
it wouldn't run). I think someone had mentioned that FPU stuff wouldn't
show up 'til 2.0? Is it possible to use any of the software FPU
Emulators now?
On the side, 1.1m is great but it seems that the longer you run it,
the more chance of a crash. Also the order of programs you run seems
to make a difference. I'll try documenting it more when I have time.
For instance after some sequence of programs I start up Excel and try
to print and I believe it crashed with a Signal 7 and so I start
Executor up again and go right into Excel instead of running any other
programs first and try to print the exact same thing and it works
without crashing. I'd assume these are the tough bugs to track down.
Again, if I can repeat it I'll report it officially.
Thanks.
