I got Oleo off of gatekeeper:/GNU and it compiled with out any warnings, errors or anything at least a month ago. I'm running FreeBSD. You shouldnt have had to change anything. Me too. I use NetBSD 0.9. However, I noticed the following bug: A calculation that gives a result of exactly 0 displays "#INFINITY". This is because oleo detects infinity by comparing against the result of the division 1.0/0.0. On NetBSD this division yields 0.0. I am not sure whether it is correct to use the result of a division by zero. If it is allowed, then the NetBSD math functions should be corrected. BTW the floating point exception is switched off by oleo when the division by zero is calculated.
