Sorry !

Ok as far as the 6.5.3 from the FreeBSD ports dir, just says "alpha port
is broken " and thats it (It tests to see if the box is alpha )

As far as the 6.5.2 when running the ./configure script tests to see if the
compiler 'gcc' can do -m486 and another intel specific option then it will
error saying "compiler failed, cannot create executable".

Hope that helps.... once again sorry (It was late and I was tired... )

thank you
