Hi Tim,

I have acquired PC laptop (dell latitude d600) running dual boot
with Windows XP Pro (rarely) and Fedora Core 3 (most of the time).
My general intention is to help you bring magnus into a useable
atate since I think there is some useful stuff there that shouldn't
be lost.

.....[snip].....

I also tried to compile axiom - and gcl of course - but the gcl
part fails as follows (both 2.6.2 and 2.6.5):

gcc -c -Wall -DVOL=volatile -fsigned-char -pipe -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer
- -I/home/cfm/axiom-dev/axiom/lsp/gcl-2.6.5/o -I../h -I../gcl-tk sfasl.c
In file included from sfasl.c:40:
sfaslbfd.c: In function `fasload':
sfaslbfd.c:266: error: structure has no member named `_raw_size'
sfaslbfd.c:291: error: structure has no member named `_raw_size'
sfaslbfd.c:356: error: structure has no member named `_raw_size'
make[4]: *** [sfasl.o] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/cfm/axiom-dev/axiom/lsp/gcl-2.6.5/o'

I get the same error when I try to compile gcl separately.
The "_raw_size" should be "rawsize" according to the header files
but when I try to make this change to sfaslbfd.c and continue,
the original sfaslbfd.c gets restored by the tyrannical make process.

So I am mystified as to how one can get gcl and axiom to compile.

All help and suggestions welcome.

Fedora 3 fc3 Remedy?? --rrogers, Fri, 03 Feb 2006 13:27:54 -0600

Not exactly a fix, but....
Nothing worked with kernel (2.6.12-1.1381_FC3); 0 >echo ... , setarch...
But a fresh compile rm, tar, worked for kernel (2.6.11-1.35_FC3)
The result does not run with 2.6.12, so I changed the default boot to 2.6.11
Which gets me to what a want, a full axiom on linux.

Tim 
 You asked me for the two compiles, I put them in www.plaidheron.com/ray/temp
I thought I had posted this here but it doesn't seem to be here.
sorry for the repeat, if it exists in ... land.
I do want to take it down in a couple of days.
