[developers] ACE on Ubuntu on Windows

[Woodley Packard]

Out of curiousity, Guy, were you able to use the precompiled binary for ACE or did you have to compile your own?  I wouldn’t have thought you would need to install the librepp and boost dependencies if using the binaries.  It looks like you are using the precompiled ERG image though.  You could be getting a crash if you are using a stock 0.9.24 grammar image with SVN trunk ACE source code.  On the off chance that you are doing that, please try compiling the ERG image with the same ACE binary you are using.  It *might* be helpful to recompile the ERG image anyway.

Regards,
-Woodley
