Re: Math module not compiling

Are you using 32 bit Linux?? If so that is a difference, I use 64bit. I 
suspect there are serious differences between the two. I would 
re-install with 64 bit linux. I use openSUSE, no troubles..

On 64 bit you need newlib first.
I just followed Jan's directions. I looked at my "notes" and it is cut 
and paste from Jan's email

We just had this discussion...

Download the latest RTAI version from CVS or from github:
git clone https://github.com/ShabbyX/RTAI.git

Read the file
base/math/README.KLIBM

On a 64bit system you might want to install newlib:

cd /usr/local/src
mkdir newlib
cd newlib
cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs at sourceware.org:/cvs/src login
cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvs/src login
# password: anoncvs
cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs at sourceware.org:/cvs/src co newlib
mkdir install
cd src/newlib
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/src/newlib/install --disable-shared
CFLAGS="-O2 -mcmodel=kernel"
make
make install

In the rtai menu go to
Base system -> Other features:
Enable "Mathfuns support in kernel"
Nextline should have a "(1)" for NEWLIB
"The installation directory of your chosen libm.a" should be set to
/usr/local/src/newlib/install/lib

Then make RTAI again.

This should work.
