[Gcl-devel] Re: GCL Error?

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  At present, gcl must be invoked with its true filename.
This is usually accomplished with a shell script wrapper which is
customarily installed in /usr/bin/gcl.  'make install' should do this
for you, or you can make use of the precompiled Debian and/or Redhat
packages.  The unexec routine must be able to open the old image
read-only when creating the new one -- a link will not suffice.  So if
you were in unixport, and exectued ./saved_gcl, you'd be fine, or if
you use the standard wrapper, an example of which I'm including here,
all should be well.  Please let me know if not.
