Re: May Day PCL with AKCL

[dmc@piccolo.ecn.purdue.edu]

I have read the "Some notes on using "5/1/90 May Day PCL (REV 2)" with
KCL and AKCL." by Richard Harris, however I am having difficulty
getting PCL to compile in AKCL 473 on a sparcstation.  

When I do not use (setq compiler::*compile-ordinaries* t) I get a
value stack overflow!

When I use (setq compiler::*compile-ordinaries* t) I get the
following:

Starting a fresh akcl, and doing a (pcl::compile-pcl) results in the same
message again.  Does anyone have a clue to what the problem is?
