Attached is about as small a program that I can make that still demonstrates the problem. First untar the file in a directory. Assuming you're in the directory, do the following: setenv PAPILLON_HOME `pwd` cd src/build/src/ewg/ setenv EWG `pwd` setenv GOBO $ISE_EIFFEL/library/gobo/svn/ cd ../../../internal/eiffel/test/culler/ ec -config ise.ecf -finalize and it should go *Boom*.
