I found it. On most lisp systems the egrep/awk script creates stanzas that look like:
${MID}/ABELGRP.lsp: ${IN}/catdef.spad.pamphlet @${TANGLE} -R"ABELGRP.lsp BOOTSTRAP" ${IN}/catdef.spad.pamphlet>${MID}/ABELGRP.lsp but on Debian the lines look like: \${MID}/ABELGRP.lsp: \${IN}/catdef.spad.pamphlet @\${TANGLE} -R"ABELGRP.lsp BOOTSTRAP" \${IN}/catdef.spad.pamphlet>\${MID}/ABELGRP.lsp It looks like debian's awk uses a different convention of escape characters. I'll have to write a special case version for debian in the morning. t _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
