Exploring http://www.reddit.com/r/lisp/ I realized that GCL 2.6.8 and 2.6.9 had been released. Congratulations!
I'm not sure what happened to the GCL 2.7.0 code that was once made available in Debian, and when compiling your code from git master, it displays 2.7.0, so I'm confused — maybe you have a document somewhere to unconfuse me. Anyway, in the vague hope that I could port ASDF to better work on GCL, I tried to compile and install gcl (from git branch master, commit 92d9d52591c281218cf85a21dfb40a40a1424574) on my Linux amd64 Ubuntu 12.04.3 laptop, and ultimately failed to install it. First I tried to use ./configure but it looks like it failed to generate a new makefile or anything. However, I tried to use the existing makefile, and it looks like it worked and compiled gcl — a great progress since the last few times I tried over the years, and it failed due to library issues. Now, when I try to make install prefix=/home/tunes/local/stow/gcl I get the following failure (log below my .sig), and the install is incomplete. Am I doing something wrong? How can I fix it? Thanks for maintaining this piece of software. —♯ƒ • François-René ÐVB Rideau •Reflection&Cybernethics• http://fare.tunes.org It's possible to program a computer in English.
