I'm still trying to get scala (not scalia -- he is or was a Supreme Court justice) to run on the XO. It requires some Ada run-time libraries and the GTK Ada bindings. It requires "gtkada" 2.8. Is that compatible with what's on the XO? _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
