Re: [clisp-list] clisp for OSX?

Sam, thanks for your help!  I tried following your suggestions, but
ran into the following additional problems:

The version I unpacked doesn't have lisp.run anywhere.  It does have
base/lispinit.mem, though.

Since the version I unpacked appears to have the source, I tried building
this (unsuccessfully).  Do you mean I should unpack a different version?

This version doesn't have a file called configure anywhere in the
directory structure.  I did find src/config.fas and src/config.lisp
though.

I tried commenting out "-L /Users/dbuenzli/tmp/build/lib" in the Makefile
and tried a make, for giggles.  Didn't work (errors below).

So.  Is this really a binary distribution if it doesn't have lisp.run?
If so, can you tell me what to look for -- I'm pretty green when it comes
to building.

Thanks for looking at this,

David Finton
