AFAIK, if you don't need 64 bit mode, don't use it: executables are bigger and thus slower. > Right now I am getting a problem compiling > nessus-libraries/libnessus/network.c where the gcc 3.3.2 compile > hangs when run with -O2. What do you mean by "hang"? If it is a GCC or Fedora problem, ask another mailing list. Just a personal opinion: Redhat 9 was a dreadfull OS for development (I switched to Gentoo). If you really want to try a band new (and possibly buggy) proc, you'd better use a distro that is more stable than Fedora. > I am also getting a lot of warning messages saying that "cast of pointer to > integer of different size" which leads me to believe that even if it dows > compile, it may not work. Unless some GCC switch can implement short pointers or long integers. Did anybody try to compile Nessus on other 64 bit machines? e.g. Alpha or Sparc? -- [email protected] http://arboi.da.ru FAQNOPI de fr.comp.securite http://faqnopi.da.ru/ _______________________________________________ Nessus-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus-devel
