That looks like it cannot find the boot component at the expected place. 
What did you set ALICE_HOME to? It should point to the alice 
subdirectory in your installation, i.e. the one containing compiler/, 
lib/, and tools/. Double-check that there is a proper Boot.alc in 
lib/system/ under that home.

I'm surprised that you actually get that far. We have never used that 
architecture.

There has not been any active development for some time, and it is not 
clear whether that will change. It is still actively used in teaching, 
though.
