Is anyone able to build the Aldor interface with a recent revision of FriCAS?
I have not been able to build it on my Debian 5.0 system for at least the last several revisions (two or three months). This causes some problems with installing FriCAS in Sage if one already has Aldor installed in the same system. It might be necessary to manually --disable-aldor at the configure stage to avoid this but it would be nice if we didn't have to do this.

When I tried to build fricas I got the error as mentioned previously. I should note that I also get an error if I run the aldor tests using 'make testaxl' so perhaps there is an issue with my aldor installation.
