RE: Trying to compile RPL/2 on MacOSX
Hello Carey and thanks for your answer

I managed to install it on another laptop running... Debian 11 bullseye (which I believed is the latest version). Apart from installing the missing libraries with the package manager (among them, if I recall correctly, there were "sharutils", "build-essential" "bison" "flex", "libz-dev"), the only trouble I ran into was related to something called "aclocal". I followed this answer on SO:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/46354308

to install, from source, aclocal version 1.15.

In case the answer on SO is somehow deleted, here is the code to build, install and use aclocal-1.15:

Code:

wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.15.tar.gz
tar -xzvf automake-1.15.tar.gz
cd automake-1.15
./configure  --prefix=/opt/aclocal-1.15
make
sudo mkdir -p /opt
sudo make install
export PATH=/opt/aclocal-1.15/bin:$PATH
aclocal --version

As for the textbook, it is an old one written in French called "cours de mathématiques supérieures" by A. Mézard and C. Delorme. It contains some RPL snippets, and is more about pure mathematics than programming.
