Re: Getting an error when compiling with "--with-threads=flavor"

Hi Prasad,

> But when using "./configure --with-threads=flavour"

Parts of commands that need to be substituted by actual values are highlighted
in a particular way:
  - in HTML documentation: through italics,
  - in "configure --help" output: through uppercase.

Most probably you have reused a build directory for re-configuring with
different configure options. This does not work. Always run "../configure ...."
in a fresh (empty) subdirectory of the clisp top directory.

If you actually want to build with FFI, you need to first install libffcall.
