Altivec and GCC

[Aren Villanueva <aren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone, just trying to use altivec under linux ppc.

When I try to define a vector:

vector float vec1 = (vector float)(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);

and try to compile it, i get a "can't convert between vector values  
of different size"

what's going on?

I've already #include-ed the altivec.h and used the -maltivec - 
mabi=altivec gcc flags when compiling

Cheers
Aren
