   Hello all.   
      
   I was directed here by the textbook "The Art of Assembly Language   
   Programming." I hope this is the appropriate forum; the text only mentions   
   that comp.lang.asm.x86 is an "Internet newgroup."   
      
   I am hoping for guidance on the installation of High Level Assembly.   
      
   When compiling, HLA reports:   
      
   > ERROR! Could not locate the hlalib.a file.   
   > Have you set the 'hlalib' environment variable properly?   
      
   My .bashrc contains:   
      
   > hlalib=/home/jackson/bin/hla-resources/hlalib   
   > export hlalib   
      
   > hlainc=/home/jackson/bin/hla-resources/include   
   > export hlainc   
      
   I've executed 'source .bashrc' to refresh(?) the configuration.   
      
   Permissions are as follows:   
      
   > [jackson@laptop bin]$ ls -ARl   
   > .:   
   > total 3040   
   > -rwxrwxr-x. 1 jackson jackson  726944 May 21 19:28 hla

   >

   >

   > -rw-r--r--. 1 jackson jackson 2376200 May 21 19:28 hlalib_safe.a   
   > ...   
      
   Has anyone installed HLA recently and encountered a similar issue? Any insight   
   would be greatly appreciated.
