Tim, have you tried Gentoo? You will probably (I write probably because two Gentoo systems may be quite different) notice that Gentoo gcl crashes on simple Lisp code that normally gcl handles without problem. My conclusion is that Gentoo gcl is broken. The problem vanishes if one uses self-build gcl-2.6.8-pre. This of course risks restarting discussion about using tools provided with distribution versus our own tools. At least my experience was that gcl-2.6.6 simply does not work for Axiom, but it is still common in older installations. I have mixed experience using gcl-2.6.7, on a few machines self-build gcl-2.6.7 works just fine, but on some other I noticed problems. If I were making a release tarball now I would probably include gcl-2.6.8-pre inside and made it a default. -- Waldek Hebisch [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
