[Matlisp-users] Matlisp on SBCL

[C R. <ju...@mi...>]

Hi

I'd like to be able to use Matlisp on SBCL (on Linux x86 and OS X). The 
Matlisp front page says that Matlisp is not supported on SBCL, but the 
mailing lists and CVS version suggest that it is possible to run Matlisp 
on SBCL. I have got Matlisp going on CMUCL (and it looks great, BTW) but 
I get an error when evaluating (load "start.lisp") on SBCL (on x86, 
haven't tried OS X yet). The error as it is reported by SBCL is given 
below. I'd be very grateful if someone would let me know the status of 
Matlisp and SBCL and if possible, tell me what I'd need to do to get 
Matlisp going on SBCL (again, both Linux x86 and OS X).

Thanks in advance,

Chris


I am using SBCL 0.8.19 and get the following error:

;  - Loading defsystem "lazy-loader"
debugger invoked on a TYPE-ERROR in thread 13357:
  The value #<SB-IMPL::UNIX-HOST {5019611}>
  is not of type

You can type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.

restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
  0: [ABORT   ] Reduce debugger level (leaving debugger, returning to 
toplevel).
  1: [TOPLEVEL] Restart at toplevel READ/EVAL/PRINT loop.
