Re: [ooc-compiler] compile error on Xubuntu

[Stewart G. <sgr...@ii...>]

Hi Duke,

I checked this out, and it looks like the problem is related to the GC 
version. The API seems to have changed slightly in the 7.X series and 
some of the functions OOC expects have been removed or renamed.

If you use GC 6.8 it should work fine. BTW, this is also the "default" 
version you get if you download gc.tar.gz.

Cheers,
   Stewart
