The precompile.sh in pike 7.8 initially just tries to run 'pike -x precompile' if that pike supports precompile. If that precompile does not succeed, the script does not try to run any of the other possibilities (compiled pike, etc). The install then fails completely. This is happening to me when precompiling the zxid.cmod which uses string rages, which are not supported by older pike 7.8 versions. How should we fix that? Its something that will happen to people trying to install a newer pike7.8 from git.
