[plt-scheme] Question on build process for Linux and Mac OSX

Eli,
  Thanks that did the trick I removed the spaces from the source tree
and it built perfect.  Now I have both CGC and 3m garbage collectors
with a similar build process for Linux and OS X. I appreciate the fast
reply, you are a genius.
