If you have troubles running the Icon compiler on your system, first check the information in the READ.ME file in our FTP area for your platform. If, for example, you're running a different version of the operating system and related software from the one on which the object files of the compiler are based, you may have difficulties. We can't hope to provide variants for different versions of software. If you can't run our object distribution, please be patient -- we'll have source code available later.

The Icon compiler is now available for five more UNIX platforms: Intel 386 running System V Macintosh running AU/X PS/2 running AIX UNIX PC (3B1) VAX-11 running Ultrix To get a copy of the compiler, do an anonymous FTP to cs.arizona.edu, cd /icon/v8/Compiler/Packages, and see what's there. Documentation for the compiler is in /icon/v8/Compiler/Docs. Please check the READ.MEs for the specific implementations in Packages -- since the Icon compiler presently is distributed in object form, operating system and related software must be compatible. For example, some sites have been unable to run the Sun 4 implemenation of the Icon compiler because they are using a version of the system software that is earlier than the version needed by the Icon compiler. If you are successful in getting the Icon compiler to run on a different configuration than listed in a READ.ME, please let us know so that we can add that information for other users.
