Here's some issues with AxPcoords (keeping Alexis CCed). First (this is for Alexis, for the next release), there's an #include <string.h> missing, and gcc throws away some warnings: AxPcoords.c:171: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strcpy’ AxPcoords.c:181: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strcat’ AxPcoords.c:199: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strcpy’ But I've added a patch, this is a minor issue. The real issue is this: gcc -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -D_USE_LAPACK -D_USE_ACML -I../acml3.6.0/gnu32/include/ -c AxPcoords.c -o AxPcoordsACML.o AxPcoords.c:47:18: error: acml.h: No such file or directory make: *** [AxPcoordsACML.o] Error 1 I've already contacted AMD (yes, I did, really) to ask if they could relicense their ACML under a free license (GPL/BSD/Artistic/...).

Or is that some of those packages because it's "impossible to distribute" without permission from AMD? Thanks, David P.S.: I'm finishing the packaging and injecting a patched version which doesn't compile the ACML version. -- . ''`.
