Re: [Axiom-developer] build failure on Debian Woody Solved -- Stray symbols in src/algebra/Makefile ! ??

As Bill Page pointed out the problem is not in noweb
but in a shell script embedded in the src/algebra/Makefile.pamphlet
and the semantics of awk.

Which version of awk are you using? The configure script tries
to figure out which one you have. It prefers gawk, then nawk, and
defaults to awk. You can specify a particular awk version on the
command line thus:

make AWK=/usr/local/bin/gawk

We'll fix the makefile shell script at the next update (expected
on april 1).
