Re: [Reduce-algebra-developers] reduce on 64-bit gentoo

[Arthur N. <ac...@ca...>]

Yes, reduce.img should be quite a few megabytes large. If it is in a 
damaged state that tend to mean that a previous attempt to build it 
crashed (so you could look at the log frrom that). But if you just delete 
all of cslbuild, run configure again and go "make" you get a fully freshly 
built version - and if that is still small and broken it usually means you 
did not have some necesary development library or tool installed on the 
machine you were building on. Somewhere in all the output from the build 
(I tend to collect it by going
    script build.log
    make
    exit)
should be messages from which one can deduce what. I also HOPE that 
scripts/csl-sanity-check.sh can HELP get a system up to the necessary 
state.
