Well here we are nearly at the end of the algebra build but a problem
occurs while re-building the databases:

But something goes wrong building 'compress.daase'. This error:

    The function |SetCategory| is undefined.

seems strange to appear at this late stage in the build process. It
looks like the failure occurred in 'make-databases'.

I did not notice any earlier failures in the build but I will check again.

Can you think of anything that might cause this?
