Re: [Maxima-discuss] Emacs environment for lisp and maxima under windows

Jaime's proposal:
(%i1) :lisp (ql:quickload swank) => There is no package with name QL
Windows has a general problem with finding things, it seems.
When I try to
(%i1) load ("C:\quicklisp\asdf.lisp"); => file_search1: C:quicklispasdf.lisp not found in file_search_maxima,
file_search_lisp.
That's nasty! \\ instead of \ does not help, either.
When I copy asdf.lisp into a path known by file_search_maxima, I can load it then. And then the pushnew works!
But already in the next line I get the well-known answer:
(%i2) :lisp (require :swank) => "Load: a file with name SWANK does not exist"
Again, windows does not find the stuff. But don't I have to tell him, where to find ql, swank, or asdf?
>From your last mail, you think it is a problem of clisp? I remember now that in the installation instruction for my
emacs they told about clisp 2.49 (the one presently used by maxima) having a problem with path finding under windows.
That's why they proposed to do the emacs installation on the basis of clisp 2.48, what I actually did. But that would
not hold for your system, you don't use windows. But maybe the problem affects more than just windows.
Could you possibly see what your clisp (2.49 ?) does with the 2. and 3. line of startswank in your environment?
My impression is, that some kind of default path is not working or set correctly with clisp or windows, or that always
some explicit path has to come with the file name. But I don't know how in lisp this would be done.
Best regards,
Roland
