Right now I'd suggest if you want stable gcl for 'traditional usage,
uses 2.6.2pre, if you need a lot of ansi features, use cvs head.

export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gcl
cvs -z9 -q co -d gcl-2.6.2pre -r Version_2_6_2pre gcl
cvs -z9 -q co -d gcl-2.7.0

cd <source>

./configure [ --enable-dynsysgmp ] [ --enable-ansi ] && make

OK, please let us know your loading needs as they arise.

Take care,
