Go up one level in this thread


The installation was easy enough in Mandrake 8.1.  The only trick was (as others
have reported) that the shell script that sets up environment variables didn't
work, and I had to add the variables by hand to my .bashrc.  Also, the install
script first reported that it didn't recognize my hardware.  This is because
mandrake sets HOSTTYPE to i586 and the script was expecting i386.  A quick edit
of the install script to expect i586 fixed that.

With a straight compile (just -O3) chester was about 2% faster than the gcc
version.  When I turned on -ipo which allows cross file optimizations, it got to
be about 10% faster than the gcc version.  This is on an athlon, no doubt
intel's own chips will probably see more benefit - but hey, I'll take the 10%..
