Hi Catherine,

on Unix we have moved the build system as default to the style preferred
by TEA: the shells
are not built anymore by default. Instead it is advisable to load XOTcl
dynamically into the
ordinary tclsh or wish. I propose you simply use this style of using
XOTcl as well:

% wish
> package require XOTcl
> namespace import xotcl::*

the shells, if build (what is optional) now do nothing else than this.
