I want to use GCL on a Linux system, and I'd appreciate any help.
Actually, "need to use" would be more appropriate at the moment;
but if I can't get GCL to work fairly easily, I'll have to switch
to a different Lisp. (My Lisp porting skills are much greater
than my C/make/whatever debugging skills these days.)
I sent a couple of messages earlier (see below) but
received no reply. :(
The problem might be a simple one, because it gives up quite early
on in the "make" process.
Some information:
I believe I'm using a fairly recent version of Fedora. The
output of "uname -a" is included in the forwarded message.
I cannot do anything as root, and it is unlikely that I can
get anyone else to do anything as root for me either.
I have to get it working as an ordinary user.

Subject: Re: [Gcl-devel] Problem making 2.6.7 on Linux
To: gcl-devel@gnu.org
Looking at this more closely, I see that it seems to be
trying to write to /bin/gcl.
Why is that?
Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
I tried to build GCL 2.6.7, but make gave up almost immediately.
Any clues or other help would be appreciated.
uname -a gives:
Linux todday.inf.ed.ac.uk 2.6.12-1.1381_FC3 #1 Fri Oct 21 03:46:55
EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I tried:
./configure
make
./configure output ends like this:
...
checking endianness... little
checking for sbrk... yes
checking for randomized sbrk... yes
checking for randomized brk remedy... no
Cannot build with randomized sbrk
make output:
