Not to whine or anything, but Etch was only promoted to Debian stable on 17 Feb 2008. I do realize that Debian doesn't have the world's fastest release cycle, but four months seems pretty recent. But rebuilding the runtime to work on the current stable Debian wasn't a problem. The part I really don't understand is why everything except heap-building seems to work correctly in the build process. david rush -- GPG Public key at http://cyber-rush.org/drr/gpg-public-key.txt _______________________________________________ Larceny-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ccs.neu.edu/bin/listinfo/larceny-users
