Re: [Gcl-devel] strange warning

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings, and thanks for your feedback!

This has been fixed in CVS head, aka 2.7.0 (not yet released).

In sum all you should need is to replace the following line in 
/usr/lib/gcl-2.6.5/cmpnew/gcl_lfun_list.lsp:

(DEFSYSFUN 'LAST "Llast" '(T) 'T NIl NIL)

with

(DEFSYSFUN 'LAST "Llast" '(T *) 'T NIl NIL)

and load it into your image.

I'd like to do away with this file eventually.

Take care,
