cc will not be able to compile STk since the Scheme interpreter is written in
ANSI C. I can, eventually, try to unprotoize it, but I'm not sure of the result
since my experience with the GNU unprotoize is rather negative.

The error is in the extension directory which is not useful for running STk.
In fact the stk-bin which lives in the Src directory should run without
problem.

Support for dynamic loading is not very good for now and limited to SunOS 4
(and probaly to gcc, I have no other C compiler for this system). Next release
will
probably include SunOS 5, Dec OSF1 and perhaps Linux.
If someone knows a little about this dynamic loading on those systems, please
mail me.

The file "Makefile.sun" which is absent in the distribution (I don't know how
I have lost it) is given at end of this message. It works with gcc and must be
adaptated for other compilers.
