Try the gcl mailing list at ···@cli.com.  But I haven't seen any
traffic there for maybe a year.

If you can't find it on sunsite, I can send you my gcl binary.  I
haven't used it for a long time but it used to work.  This was built
using either an old Slackware or Redhat 4.0.  Can't remember when I
built it last.

I vaguely remember this error.  It has something to do with the
macro/code there.  The code says something like "x = a ? f() : b();"
However, Linux declares f() as a void function so the assignment makes 
no sense.  Rearrange the code, or put a cast in.  That should let you
at least compile everything.

Computational Logic, Inc, sadly, is no more.  On the other hand I just
got amil from Bill from someplace in France, so maybe he's just been out
of the loop.

I hope to work on a gcc-based Win32 port of GCL shortly.
