[Matlisp-users] could not install matlisp

[Tamas P. <tk...@gm...>]

Hi,

I tried to compile matlisp, but make failed (see error messages below).  I
also
included the output from configure.  Sorry if it is something obvious,
I am a Lisp newbie.

Thanks,

Tamas

What Lisp are you using?  In addition, I suggest you use the CVS
version.  The version you have is a bit old (although there probably
isn't much differen).

Raymond,

Thanks, the CVS version worked.  I am using CMUCL, version 19d-20061116-1.

Is there some kind of overview to get me started?  I found the examples in
the README, but nothing else.  I can of course look at the help of all
commands, but I wonder if there is some other help document/manual, a but
more structured.

Thanks,

Tamas

Ok, glad that worked.

Unfortunately not.  About the only documentation there is is at
matlisp.sourceforge.net, and the (help) command.  Most of the matrix
commands use exactly the same name as LAPACK/BLAS, so that makes it
easier to figure out what they do.  

I guess the only thing not really documented is that you can do
something like:

(defvar *m* [1 2 3; 4 5 6])

to create a matrix 

    1 2 3
    4 5 6

Hope this helps a little,

Ray
