Error fixed.
About the path composition for files, I might give it a try tomorrow.

Sounds like we really need LOAD regression tests if we want to finish 
this...
Kaj

Yep. Another one:
red>> view [{}]
Box: skipping unknown dialect word "{".

It's on my todo list to do more LOAD tests for R3. You can use those 
then, at least as a start.
Unfortunately they won't happen today.
DocKimbel

I need to port them to Quick-Test anyway.
BTW, I have no clue where the R3 tests are located online?

file! is suddenly broken:
red>> print %x
unset

Those tests manage to be unified between R2 and R3 by tagging the 
ones that aren't. A #red tag could be added...

Works here.
Where do I find LOAD tests? There are only these ones: https://github.com/rebolsource/rebol-test/blob/master/load-tests.txt

Fresh build, on Linux
DocKimbel

Let me stash my changes to see if there's a side-effect.
BrianH

There aren't that many yet, which is why I need to add some.
All tests are here: https://github.com/rebolsource/rebol-test/blob/master/core-tests.r

Wait, my console-pro isn't rebuilt
DocKimbel

Fresh console build with latest pushed commit (on Win7):

red>> print %x
x

I'm getting #411 again on two programs
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6174]
With the exact same error message?
Kaj
9-Mar-2013
[6175x3]
Yes. I've checked in my current state of GTK so you can test it
If you update everything, it happens on console-pro and GTK-IDE
{} is OK now that I've forced a build
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6178]
On Linux only?
Kaj
9-Mar-2013
[6179x2]
Dunno, probably not
I'm running View 2.7.8.4.3
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6181]
Can you try it with /Core 2.7.6? (just in case...)
Kaj
9-Mar-2013
[6182x2]
Sigh. rebol.com only lists 2.5
Found it in the maze. It works
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6184]
Great!
Kaj

Well, I haven't used that in many years. I would like it to work 
with 2.7.8
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6186x2]
Have you tested with Core 2.7.8?
I only trust 2.7.6 for my production code, I had too many weird behaviors 
and bugs in 2.7.8. 2.7.6 has some bugs too, but at least I can spot 
them easily and it seems to much more stable overall than 2.7.8.
Kaj
9-Mar-2013
[6188x2]
Same issue
2.7.6 and 2.7.7 have problems, especially in View, that make them 
unstable on Linux. I'm using 2.7.8 in Syllable
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6190]
2.7.7 is definitely a no-go.
Kaj
9-Mar-2013
[6191x2]
It works fairly well for me
Red works OK on those versions, except this problem
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6193x2]
I have never tested deeply View on non-Windows platforms, as I never 
needed it for my production code.
I will give it a look tomorrow testing with 2.7.8.
Kaj

Thanks
Make sure not to change anything, as any shift in the code makes 
the problem go in hiding

In case, some of you are interested in a more detailled view of Red's 
roadmap, I've started using Trello for keeping track of current and 
future tasks. I've just started adding stuff, I have many more things 
to put there. Here's the URL:
