Here's my new one. I had earlier used chicken 2 build 2. I did get the darcs version however was unable to compile it. I read the README.darcs and tried to follow it. I was unable to use gmake. Didn't find something like that and don't know enough of build systems and environments on C to really figure out things.

Hope this is helpful, if there is anything I can do for you do let me know. Unfortunately, I can only work during weekends.

cheers,
ashish

I have spent nearly a day trying to reproduce this problem - to no avail.
Could anybody who experiences this behaviour send me:

- full chicken version (csi -v)
- full gcc version (gcc -v)
- full OS version

The steps to be taken in this case are:

- get the absolutely newest (darcs head) Chicken sources
- configure with
  CFLAGS="-g -Os -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing" ./configure
- build, install
- does the error still occur?
- if no: bad
- if yes: run chicken with the *exact* same arguments as in the crashing
  syntax-case compile
- from there on it's fun with gdb...


cheers,
felix
