Like I said Ben from Google was the one who explained the filesystem issue. I don't think it is an SVN issue. GCC ran into similar issue (not the rpo, the compiler) very recently. Bill, forget about SVN for a moment. How to you plan to keep POLY.pht and poly.pht as separate files in the same directory using a case preserving and case insensitive filesystem? -- Gaby _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
