Re: An Issue With Execute Alternate Under OpenBSD, Library Suggestions, and Debugging Help

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann]

Hi Brian,

thanks. If it is installed then the ./configure of GNU APL should detect
it and
automatically add the proper linker flags. So 'Programmer' should:

1. install the libexecinfo package
2. re-run ./configure
3. make ; make install
