Ok. Thanks for addressing the flint problem. I did not add RFE:
to the symmetrica bug report, but can do that. I think it would be
also reasonably to rename more functions, because they use names
too much generic, e.g. add, sub, mult, div, sum, sort, etc.
I have rebuilt symmetrica. I addressed one other problem. I saw lots
of complaints in the initial build log about printf format specifiers
being the wrong width. A little investigation found multiple comments
in the sources about the INT type being 4 bytes. But it was 4 bytes
on some architectures and 8 bytes on others. I fixed the headers to
ensure that INT is always 4 bytes, which led to a different set of
printf format specifier problems. Sigh. I finally got the thing
patched so that all of the code agrees that INT is 4 bytes.
Thanks! I will wait a bit more, as for now I can build from sources
whatever I need, but should shortly attempt to switch to rawhide,
as I am used to run bleeding edge :-)
Good luck. :-)
