[gambit-list] Trouble building gambit

That is not the correct way to build Gambit.  The README.md file says:

    git clone https://github.com/gambit/gambit.git
    cd gambit
    ./configure
    make -j4 current-gsc-boot
    ./configure --enable-single-host
    make -j4 from-scratch
    make check
    make -j4 doc
    sudo make install

You are using “make latest-release” which is no longer correct.
