Subject: [galib] Deb package for GAlib
Message-ID: <482A4A9E.8060102@gmail.com>

Anyone knows if GAlib have a .deb package? If it doesn't exist already i will 
make one myself, to distribute to my users that are using a debian based distro.
Will send the package to this list too.

TIA

Subject: [galib] Error initializing floats
Message-ID: <4839CE4B.1020807@gmail.com>

Doing some experiments with the GARealGenome, i stated that if the lower bound 
of gene is -inf (-std::numeric_limits<float>::infinity()) the GARandomFloat() 
always return -nan. I think that, for example: if i set the allele as [-inf, 
+inf] it should return any float.

Follow is the excerpt from my debug session:

GARandomFloat (low=-inf, high=inf) at /usr/include/ga/garandom.h:106
106       float val=high-low; val*=_GA_RND(); return val+low;
(gdb) print val
$47 = inf
(gdb) print val+low
$48 = -nan(0x8000000000000)

Now I can't think of a solution for this, or maybe this can be done in another 
way in GAlib.

If this is really a bug I'll try to fix it and post a patch to this list.

Any sugestion is wellcome.

TIA
