#847 — Algol68 compiler (algol68toc) on Linux?

I've downloaded the Algol68 compiler package 'algol68toc_1.15.tar.gz'[*] and
compiled[**] and installed it on a Xubuntu Linux 2.6.32. When I ran it I got:

Run time fault (aborting):
Garbage collector:HEAP allocation of object whose size is not a word multiple
Abort

Has anyone compiled and used this package and can give me some hints how to
make that beast run?

[**] I've seen no configure file, so I compiled it as it came with 'make'.

The latest version of the compiler is at

http://www.poenikatu.co.uk/algol68/algol68toc_1.17_i386.deb

You would be well-advised to get the latest version which has an updated version of 'ca'.

It is possible to get a fault with the garbage collector, usually because the source
program contains weird errors which are not picked up until run-time. If you get such
an error, contact me (the upstream maintainer) at

It's probably a different package, but I've successfully used

    apt-get install algol68g

	As you surmise, A68G is a completely different package; it has
the advantage that there are people around who read these groups and
are regular users of it ....

	It's mostly "only" an interpreter, but it's plenty fast enough
for everything I've wanted it to do.  It includes the things that most
A68 compilers of forty years ago left out [parallel processing and
formats in particular, but also a lot of compile- and run-time
checking], adds partial parametrisation [but not yet modals] as
described in "Algol Bulletin", and lots of extra library stuff, plus a
large PDF book/manual.
