[Axiom-developer] GCL-2.6.8pre unable to make new image

[Gabriel Dos Reis]

Hi Camm,

  GCL-2.6.9pre, checkout of cvs as of this morning, has problems
making new lisp image.  More precisely, the instruction

     % echo '(compiler::link nil "foo")' | gcl

has GCL die with the message

[...]
loading /home/gdr/lib/gcl-2.6.8/unixport/../xgcl-2/sysdef.lisp

Error: Cannot open the file 
/home/gdr/lib/gcl-2.6.8/unixport/../xgcl-2/sysdef.lisp.
Error signalled by PROGN.
Broken at SYSTEM::BREAK-LEVEL.  Type :H for Help.
COMPILER>>
"foo"


Indeed the file sysdef.lisp is NOT present in the install directory

        /home/gdr/lib/gcl-2.6.8/unixport/xgcl-2/

it looks like the install machinery forgot to install it.

Thanks,
