In the past, I've gotten complaints from asy when it is out of sync  
with support files in TeX Live. So when I build, I also

	1) update my copy of svn

	2) build TeX Live

	3) install TeX Live

	4) then build asy

	5) and then test

I updated svn this morning and did all of this. Then I ran asy using  
the following test file obtained from the asymptote folks:

------------

size(4cm, 0);

// Test GSL
  access gsl;
  write(gsl.sinc(0));
  write();

// Test FFTW
  int n = 4;
  pair[] f = sequence(n);
  write(f);
  pair[] g = fft(f, -1);
  write();
  write(g);
  f=fft(g, 1);
  write();
  write(f/n);
  write();

// Test OpenGL
access settings;
access three;
settings.render = -1;
settings.outformat = "png";
three.draw(three.unitsphere);

------------

This produced the following (results and ) errors:

I have halted further work and await comments from the asymptote  
developers.
