Dear Forum,
anyone can share his/her experience with installing GAP on a computer
with Itanium (Intel 64-bit) processors?
Here is the output of uname -a:
  Linux pilatus 2.6.5-7.191-sn2 #1 SMP Tue Jun 28 14:58:56 UTC 2005 ia64
  ia64 ia64 GNU/Linux
and of gcc -v:
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/ia64-suse-linux/3.3.3/specs
Configured with: ../configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr
--with-local-prefix=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/share/info
--mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-languages=c,c++,f77,objc,java,ada
--disable-checking --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-libgcj
--with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/g++ --with-slibdir=/lib
--with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit ia64-suse-linux
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)

In my case it builds seemingly OK, using gcc, and then I get, when 
trying to run standard tests:
gap> tst := Filename( DirectoriesLibrary("tst"), "testall.g" );;
gap> Read(tst);
[...]
Architecture: ia64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc

test file         GAP4stones     time(msec)
-------------------------------------------

Segmentation fault
---------------------------------------

although I can compute 3^80 all right using it, so it's not totally
broken.

Any clues what happens?

Thanks,
Dima
