    Does anybody know the status of Cecil/Vortex on Linux? Some students are
    trying to use it for 505 and are having trouble, as am I. For example,
    the code they are starting with is in /cse/courses/cse505/02au/hw5. If I
    start up Vortex and build (my copy of) that code (the main file is
    self.cecil), everything seems to go ok, but no executable is generated.
    Others have said that they instead get compile errors. And when I run the
    interpreter and load self.cecil into it, I get errors like

    eval error: declaration of new global generic_op_string will be shadowed
    by a non-local variable

    Unfortunately, I can't compare right now with solaris, because /usr/local
    on solaris, which has things like necessary C++ libraries, is down.

    Anyway, I guess I'm just wondering if we're doing something obvious wrong,
    or if there's some other fix that you can think of, or if I should just
    tell people to use solaris (assuming things will work fine there).

    Thanks.

    Todd
