[Gcl-devel] Can't build GCL on regular Linux box

[Blake McBride]

Greetings,

I just checked out the latest GCL from CVS.  I am running 32 bit Ubuntu Linux 7.10 Gutsy on an Intel box.  I build all sorts of things all the time without any problems.  When I try to build GCL with no fancy options I get:

[...]
rm raw_pre_gcl pre_init.lsp post_init.lsp
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/blake/Backup/gcl.cvs/unixport'
cd unixport && echo '(time (let ((*features* (cons :pre-gcl *features*)))(load "boot.lisp")))' | ./saved_pre_gcl
