[Gcl-devel] Re: GCL 2.6.6 is released

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  That's odd, the links seem to work for me.  Are you
looking at http://www.gnu.org/software/gcl?

In any case,

You can get 2.6.6 either from

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcl/gcl-2.6.6.tar.gz

or via cvs

export CVS_RSH=ssh
export CVSROOT=:ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gcl
cvs -z9 -q co -d gcl-2.6.6 -r Version_2_6_6 gcl

Please let me know if problems persist.

Take care,
