Camm, thanks for working on this problem. I have applied
the patch which you sent. Unfortunately DESCRIBE is broken
in the resulting system. I find (DESCRIBE 'DESCRIBE) yields
Error in PCL::DESCRIBE-OBJECT [or a callee]:
Error in TYPE-ERROR-DATUM [or a callee]: The slot CONDITIONS::DATUM is
unbound in the object #.
I have tried this a couple of ways: (1) Unpack gcl-2.6.6.tar.gz,
get head revs of o/regexp.c, o/regexpr.c, and lsp/gcl_info.lsp
from cvs, apply patch, & make. (2) Get head revs of everything
from cvs, apply patch, & make. Same error in either case.
I have enabled ANSI mode with configure (and nothing else).
gcc version 3.3.2, on Linux Fedora Core 1.
Maybe someone can point out where I'm going wrong here.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this problem.
All the best,
Robert Dodier
