Thanks!

I just did a fresh checkout of gcl-2.6.8pre from cvs. But the build
stops here without create saved_gcl:

-------
>mkdir -p dwdoc && \
        cd dwdoc && \
        echo '(load "../sysdef.lisp")(in-package :xlib)(defmacro while (test
&rest forms) `(loop (unless ,test (return)) ,@forms))(load
"../gcl_tohtml.lsp")(load "../gcl_index.lsp")(tohtml "../dwdoc.tex"
"dwdoc")(with-open-file (s "dwdoccontents.html" :direction :output) (let
((*standard-output* s)) (xlib::makecont "dwdoc.tex" 1
"dwdoc")))(with-open-file (s "dwdocindex.html" :direction :output) (let
((*standard-output* s)) (xlib::printindex indexdata "dwdoc")))' |

It is true that I don't have LaTeX installed but am quite
sure that I used to be able to build gcl-2.6.8pre without
LaTeX present. I needed to install LaTeX anyway so now build
completes ok. Is this a new dependency or is something wrong?

In any case, thanks again for getting the build to work. As
time permits I will see what I can do to build a pkg for
blastwave.
