Thanks for your advice. Indeed, I was able to rebuild the
cvs version of gcl and then the cvs version of Maxima.
Probably there was some old stuff from a previous failed
build of Maxima that was getting in the way; yes, I know
"make clean" is supposed to fix that. Oh well!
I found that I needed to do "aclocal; automake --add-missing;
autoconf" before "./configure --enable-gcl" and "make".
I'm not 100% sure that I got that exactly right, but, in any
event, "./configure" failed at the outset.
FWIW I have RedHat 7.1 as opposed to Debian, although maybe
that doesn't make any difference.
Thanks again for your help,
Robert Dodier
