Hi Friends, I am trying to install and run sbcl on Redhat Linux 9.0 machine and I am facing some problems. I was downloaded sbcl-0.9.5 and installed and installation was successful. But While running the sbcl , I am not getting the top level my console is getting into hang mode. Following is the output I got on my console when I ran sbcl. **************************************** [venkat@kido10 venkat]$ sbcl This is SBCL 0.9.5, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp. More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>. SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty.

I installed different versions and tried but I am getting the same problem with all versions. Thanks in advance. Thanks & Regards --Venkat __________________________________ Yahoo!

A few questions: 1. Did you install the RPM or did you recompile from source? 2. What kernel version are you running? (what's the output of "uname - a" ?) -- Dave On Thu, 2005-10-06 at 07:35 -0700, Venkata Rao Muvva wrote: > Hi Friends, > > I am trying to install and run sbcl on Redhat Linux > 9.0 machine and I am facing some problems. > > I was downloaded sbcl-0.9.5 and installed and > installation was successful. > > But While running the sbcl , I am not getting the top > level my console is getting into hang mode. > > Following is the output I got on my console when I ran > > sbcl. > > **************************************** > [venkat@kido10 venkat]$ sbcl > This is SBCL 0.9.5, an implementation of ANSI Common > Lisp. > More information about SBCL is available at > <http://www.sbcl.org/>. > > SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely > no warranty. > It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are > provided under > BSD-style licenses.

The output of "uname -a" command is Linux kido10 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 17:54:28 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Thanks --Venkat > > -- Dave > > > On Thu, 2005-10-06 at 07:35 -0700, Venkata Rao Muvva > wrote: > > Hi Friends, > > > > I am trying to install and run sbcl on Redhat > Linux > > 9.0 machine and I am facing some problems. > > > > I was downloaded sbcl-0.9.5 and installed and > > installation was successful. > > > > But While running the sbcl , I am not getting the > top > > level my console is getting into hang mode. > > > > Following is the output I got on my console when I > ran > > > > sbcl. > > > > **************************************** > > [venkat@kido10 venkat]$ sbcl > > This is SBCL 0.9.5, an implementation of ANSI > Common > > Lisp. > > More information about SBCL is available at > > <http://www.sbcl.org/>. > > > > SBCL is free software, provided as is, with > absolutely > > no warranty. > > It is mostly in the public domain; some portions > are > > provided under > > BSD-style licenses.

Did this kernel come from Red Hat or did you compile it custom? SBCL's threading support requires a kernel with NPTL, which all 2.6 kernels have but which 2.4 kernels only have if a vendor does the backporting (which Red Hat did for a while). From the output you posted, it may be that you're running into this problem, but it isn't quite clear from that either. SBCL 0.9.5 should print a message stating that NPTL support is required, but earlier versions of SBCL may not do so (very old versions of SBCL used to try to disable threading support but something got broken along the way and rather than try to fix it, people just decided to make NPTL a required for a threaded build). I don't know how to determine exactly if that's your problem or not, but there are a couple of things you could try: 1. You could try to build SBCL from sources. This is not as hard as it sounds, but it is more than downloading the tarball and typing "make." In particular, you need a running version of some sort of Lisp (preferred is SBCL and then CLISP). To make this a bit easier, I would go back to one of the earliest SBCL version you can find on SourceForge that includes an RPM (say 0.7.10 or so). Install the RPM. Then download the source tarball, unpack, and recompile. Remove the RPM, install the newly built binary, and see if that works. 2. If this is a machine that could be upgraded to a newer version of Fedora or RHEL, things are known to work. I have used SBCL on FC1, FC3, and FC4. That's a bit more drastic solution, however, and I would try #1 before I would try this. -- Dave -- Dave Roberts <ld...@dr...> |
