So two follow on action items, now that the problem seems to be solved:
1) How can we work with this Linux vendor to provide a baseline SIMH 4.0
package instead of the older SIMH 3.8-1 package?
2) Should the instructions for downloading and building the latest SIMH that
Mark provided be include
A short answer to Dave's question. I am running Linux Mint, but not the
very latest version. I imagine the most recent version does have 3.9 in it.
Since 4.0 is still marked "beta" it is probably not included.
Further details: Linux Mint is derived from Ubuntu which in turn is derived
from Debian.
As an aside, I'm the maintainer of the simh package on FreeBSD.
I've stuck at 3.9, again because of the ongoing development of 4.0. If
there is a stable version I can grab, I'll do a 4.x package.
