Hi

I run HOL under Linux.

The details of my configuration are:

Linux: Slackware 1.1.2
	   (with a 1.08 Kernal and the Slackware 1.2 Development Series disks).

HOL: HOL88 2.02

AKCL: AKCL-1-625

First thing to note is that the AKCL binary available from sunsite just
do not work.   Its was build with an old version of the libc library and the
functions for writing files have changed.   This is why compelet does not
work - I had exactly the same problem.

The thing to do it to get yourself the lastest version of AKCL from the
Austin ftp site and build it from source.   AKCL-1-625 and later have linux as
one of the preconfigured machine types and they should build right out of the
box.   I am running AKCL-1-625.   Actually I had some trouble building it
because while the version of libc that came with Slackware 1.1.2 was too
recent to run the sunsite AKCL binary, it was too old to build the latest
AKCL.   So, you may also have to get the latest version of libc, which I
did by just installing the Slackware 1.2 development series disks.

Once I had a nonbroken AKCL everything built no problems.   

Jim
