[Matlisp-users] sbcl on linux/x86

[Robbie S. <rd...@me...>]

Hi,

I figured out what was going wrong with building matlisp with defsystem 
on linux/x86.  Marco was right, it was a problem with the defsystem 
version.

When I was trying to build it I was on a debian machine which already 
had a copy of defsystem 3 loaded into the sbcl image.  The defsystem 3 
that comes with debian is too old and misses the fix that Marco put in 
to defsystem just for this same problem on cmucl.  If I load the 
defsystem that comes with matlisp before I try compiling matlisp then 
everything works fine.

So, as far as I can tell, matlisp from cvs should work fine with sbcl on 
non-debian linux.  I'll email the maintainer of the debian defsystem 
package and ask him to update it.  Then debian should work fine too...

BTW:  The matlisp build process on sbcl/Mac OS X is still not quite 
working.  Configure dies with a wierd error.  I'll try to work on it 
tonight.
