Greetings!

Greetings!  The GCL team is happy to announce the release of version
2.6.7, the latest achievement in the 'stable' (as opposed to
'development') series.  Please see http://www.gnu.org/software/gcl for
downloading information.

This release is a minor modification of 2.6.6, incorporating the known
bug fixes that had accumulated on the GCL errata page together with a
few other modifications primarily intended to provide a native
webserver feature to be used by axiom for displaying its documentation
and graphics.  The interested user is advised to consult the info
documentation on SOCKET supplied with the source.  From the
changelog:

  * Fix (listen) with readline on
  * fix control-d with readline
  * libreadline5 support for Debian
  * Support for pre-compiled regexps and new texinfo format
  * Reenable run-process
  * Push function 'accept  into lisp, use select for 'listen on socket
    streams
  * New Upstream release version
  * Native-reloc feature
  * Add daemon capabilities to server sockets, document socket and
    accept
  * Some gcl-tk fixes
  * Update wrapt-literals strategy to be consistent with CVS head --
    wrap evreything but symbols and integers, don't wrap when keeping
    the gazonk files for linking in different images, this is really a
    compile-file operation
  * gcltk demo cleanups
  * Probe-file, open_stream, and the like fail on directories
  * Resolve symlinks in truename
  * Place prototypes for defcfun in header files
  * Support for unique init names for compiler::link and the like
  * libreadline5 for Debian
  * remove _o from init-names
  * gcc-4.0 fixups
  * Bug fix: "gcl: depends on binutils-dev &lt;&lt;= 2.1.5-999), so
    uninstallable in unstable", thanks to Steve Langasek (Closes:
    #318681).  Rebuild with new release to autocompute this dep
  * Bug fix: "gcl: Please switch to po-debconf", thanks to Lucas Wall
    (Closes: #295930). Apply po-debconf patch
  * Newer standards

Should this version compile on Mac OS X 10.4.x? The relevant issue I 
would guess is that gcc defaults to 4.0 now. Should I use 3.3 or 
somesuch?

Greetings!

This version is gcc 4.0 ready, at least on Debian GNU/Linux.  Haven't
heard recently from a Mac tester.

Take care,

Well I just tried to compile it and make failed thus:

gcc  -c -Wall -DVOL=volatile -fsigned-char -pipe -O3 
-fomit-frame-pointer  -I/Users/raffaelc/Developer/gcl-2.6.7/o -I../h 
-I../gcl-tk gbc.c
In file included from ../h/../h/protoize.h:464,
                 from ../h/include.h:70,
                 from gbc.c:33:
/usr/include/unistd.h:531: error: conflicting types for 'my_sbrk'
../h/config.h:42: error: previous declaration of 'my_sbrk' was here
make[1]: *** [gbc.o] Error 1
make: *** [unixport/saved_pre_gcl] Error 2


Any ideas on how to fix this would of course be most welcome.

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Ralph
