Dear Alabhya, > Thanks! Now it works.
Great! > 1. Why only deb package is guaranteed to work in contrast to others, > say plain tar.gz? Should they not all be same? The plain tarball unpacks to a locally isolated directory. It cannot write files to files spread around the system, and it also doesn't contain compiled binaries. The advantage is that you can unpack it in any place - and more than once - to get strictly local installations, which you can modify and adjust without influence on a global installation. > And if there are official > differences then they could be documented along with additional > installation steps like (cd src; make gate). Very true! Actually, it used to be correct initially, when there was only the 32-bit version of PicoLisp. INSTALL says to do $ (cd src; make) which targets to 'all' in src/Makefile, and thus also builds 'gate'. Only when just the 64-bit version is build, 'gate' is not covered. I try to put at least a note into INSTALL before the next release (on Monday). Unfortunately, the whole 'gate' stuff isn't documented at all yet, mainly because it is not strictly part of the core PicoLisp system. It is on my todo list, though. ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
