The call to find-gnumake.sh in the install.sh shell script should come earlier, before an incomplete installation can occur. Non-programmers or those without an immediate need for C/C++ may not have installed a version of gcc, which includes gmake or gnumake, particularly with Mac OS X. The find-gnumake.sh sub-script should suggest more about how to correct the lack of GNU make, since the dependancies of gcc are not obvious to the uninitiated. An appropriate download URL could be given and Darwin users could be directed to fink. Preparing to install sbcl-1.0.30-x86-darwin-binary.tar.bz2 on Apple MacOS X 10.4.11 Powerbook 2.33 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo in order to install McCLIM 0.9.6. Hoping to produce Common-Lisp-implemented applications that can be installed and used by non-programmers. Installing X11 is already a big hurdle. Bob Kirby |
