[m-dev.] oops! ROTD-2006-03-29 not compiling on powerpc.apple.darwin8.5

[doug.auclair at logicaltypes.com]

Dear all,

The ROTD-2006-03-29 compiler distribution does not compile on
powerpc.apple.darwin8.5.  The ROTD-2006-03-28 compiler distribution
compiled and installed on the same platform without a hitch.

Do you have a copy of a pre-compiled binary distribution for that
platform that I could have?  I understand ROTD-2006-03-29 solves
some mode-checking issues that reduced compile time and space
down from O(N^2) to O(NlogN).  I need this as the previous release
SEGFAULTs when it tries to compile my program.

The error dump follows.  Normally, when this kind of error (rarely)
happens, a 'mmake clean; make' solves the problem.  I tried this
approach but it didn't work: I got the same error again.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Sincerely,
Doug Auclair
