Pari-GP 2.1.4 : BUG with AIX : install(addii,GG) .

[Tony Reix <Tony.Reix@bull.net>]

Hello,

I used Pari a few in the past, but I had a very small knowledge of it.
Now, my aim is to provide Pari-gp as one of the freewares we provide
for AIX users on our Web site: http://www.bullfreeware.com/ .

So, while compiling pari-gp 2.1.4 on AIX 4.3.3 , I got the following
error while running "make bench".
If someone could help me understanding if this error is due to
the configuration (the default) I used or if it seems to be a
problem with the compiler, or something else, please let me know.
Also, let me know if this kind of error is severity ONE or only
a very low-level problem.

Thanks,

Tony Reix

Ok. Type "make install" when you are ready
