Package: cmucl Version: 18e-10 Severity: normal I consider cmucl to be the *best* of gcl and clisp because of it's stability. However.
* cmucl binary names "lisp.core" using strings(1) but you distribute the file as lisp-dist.core. * only platform is i386 * startup shows compile corruption due to compiling phase * site-init doesn't seem to be the origional and look like it loads * itself recursively (that's what happened to me) $ /usr/bin/lisp -load /usr/lib/cmucl/lisp-dist.core ; Loading #p"/mnt/hda5/usr/lib/cmucl/lisp-dist.core". Error in KERNEL::UNBOUND-SYMBOL-ERROR-HANDLER: the variable |EROCL¥Fªª4Þ©HZì | is unbound. Restarts: 0: [CONTINUE] Return NIL from load of "/usr/lib/cmucl/lisp-dist.core". 1: [ABORT ] Skip remaining initializations.

Error flushed ... I compiled cmucl myself from the cmucl website and here's what I see when I run lisp(1): ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// CMU Common Lisp 19a, running on sol8 With core: /mnt/hda5/usr/local/lib/cmucl/lib/lisp.core Dumped on: Wed, 2004-07-28 12:51:48-04:00 on lorien See <http://www.cons.org/cmucl/> for support information.

Are my problems that I installed this from Sarge BEFORE it became official? Because it seems by package file list things would be more or less the same. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// A couple last things: 1) I see quite allot of diffs of clisp to the networking and password section. Why does cmucl need this? 2) what is "asdf" and why isn't it part of the origional distribution? 3) why does cmucl_19a-release-20040728-11.diff Include diffs to lisp.core When lisp.core is cmucl binary that has to be built - a large part of lisp - which - I might add - makes lisp impossible to use if not built with lisp(1) binary? /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Anyway. It appears you've done allot of work and I hope you get your problems done soon. I know I'd *really* like to use readline - which is why I downloaded cmulc from www.cons.org/cmucl -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.10-k7 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Versions of packages cmucl depends on: ii common-lisp-controller 3.88 This is a Common Lisp source and c ii debconf 1.4.25 Debian configuration management sy -- debconf information: cmucl/upgradeproblems: * cmucl/auto-build: Yes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
