Subject: Problems installing HOL 1.12


Has anyone been able to successfully install the new version of HOL using
either SUN CL 3.0 or Franz Lisp Version 38.92. I have already sent a list
of errors to Phil Windley as regards the CL 3.0 installation. I have tried
some patches but I do not get beyond the installation of hol-lcf. The
PPLAMB theory can be created but bool.th cannot be created as a call to
new_parent in file mk_bool.ml reports "new_parent -- PPLAMB theory damaged".

The Franz Lisp version does better in that, the theories PPLAMB, bool, ind
and BASIC-HOL are created. However, the compilation of the file ml/hol-syn
could not be done as "axiom" is reportedly an unbound or non-assignable
variable. I tried to include "lisp `(load "lisp/f-thyfns")`;;" in the Makefile
but it doesn't work either. The error then reported is
"evaluation failed     axiom -- bool is not an ancestor".

Before I start hacking further patches I would wait for some HOL experts to
give me an advice.

Thanks,
Kumar
