1039 One kluge around this problem is to extract @file{termios.o} from | |
1040 @file{libposix.a}, put it in Octave's @file{src} directory, and add it | |
1041 to the list of files to link together in the makefile. Suggestions for | |
1042 better ways to solve this problem are welcome! | |

1045 If Octave crashes immediately with a floating point exception, it is | |
1046 likely that it is failing to initialize the IEEE floating point values | |
1047 for infinity and NaN. | |
1048 | |
1049 If your system actually does support IEEE arithmetic, you should be able | |
1050 to fix this problem by modifying the function @code{octave_ieee_init} in | |
1051 the file @file{lo-ieee.cc} to correctly initialize Octave's internal | |
1052 infinity and NaN variables. | |
1053 | |
1054 If your system does not support IEEE arithmetic but Octave's configure | |
1055 script incorrectly determined that it does, you can work around the | |
1056 problem by editing the file @file{config.h} to not define | |
