I have a problem with installing PARI  with Suse Linux 9.1. 
Configure complains about operands being invalid for a “ div” operation. 
I cannot figure out what the problem is, And I cannot find the Oxxx/par.cfg 
file either.
Can you help me?

Greetings,

I have Siemens Fujitsu computer with a Pentium 4 CPU 2.00 Ghz.
The operating system is Suse Linux 9.1 (dual boot with Windows XP)
PARI is working correctly under Windows XP.

I tried to install
