[Gcl-devel] Re: GCL 2.6.6 is released

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  You can retrieve a .deb from
http://packages.debian.org/unstable/interpreters/gcl and follow the
HOWTO-UNPACK-DEBS, which is basically to ar x the .deb and then tar
zxf the data.tar.gz.

Please let me know if you have difficulties.  Likewise if you want to
forward your failed build log.

Take care,
