Re: [Gcl-devel] Axiom on Slackware, anyone?

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings!  It appears that you have no emacs installed, which is at
present a gcl build dependency.  The build dependencies are listed at
the head of the file debian/control, and are at present:

Build-Depends: debhelper ( >= 4.1.0 ), emacs21 | emacsen, libreadline4-dev, m4, 
tk8.4-dev, tetex-bin, texinfo, binutils-dev, libgmp3-dev, autotools-dev

You can forget about the debhelper dependency if you are not building
a Debian package.

Please let me know if installing an emacs does not fix things.

Take care,
