[Aldor-l] Distributing Aldor

[Bill Page]

Pippijn,

I still have not had any success building your version of Aldor from
source on any of my systems. :-(  My most recent attempt was on a
Debian 5.0 (Lenny, beta 2) x86 system. First I tried your debian
package but that failed with a message about 'libssp0' which doesn't
seem to be available in Lenny:

debian:/home/wspage# apt-get install aldor
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  aldor: Depends: libfoam-aldor (= 1.1.0-1) but it is not going to be installed
         Depends: libssp0 (>= 4.1.1-12) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

debian:/home/wspage# apt-cache search libssp
gcc-4.1 - The GNU C compiler

----

Maybe it is associated with a previous version of the gcc? It looks
like it is only found in etch:

http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=libssp0

Then I tried building from source. But I get an error while it tries
to build the rona library. Here is the tail end of the build log:

Any ideas?
