Re: help on building clisp

Hey!

Thanks for the tip.

> What made you think that this command does anything useful?
well I was fumbling around and I thought make files should yield something.
Turns out it does something else but I wanted to know why it running "make
-f Makefile.devel" gave me an error?

I was thinking of sticking to clisp itself, but I will definitely look into

I run Ubuntu 13.04 on a Intel i5 machine though I don't know why the
program said that my system lacks readline.

I carefully inspected each step this time while running "make check". And
there was just this one single error
in the "src/tests/backquot.erg" file.  I suspect if it is an error I should
expect.
