[cells-gtk-devel] cannot load "load.lisp"

[Peter Denno]

Hi,

I just tried compiling cells-gtk-2006-02-16 under 
sbcl-0.9.12-x86-64-linux-binary.tar.bz2 and it compiles fine for me. There is 
one place where you have to continue from a variable being redefined. We 
fixed this in the CVS, but for now, just using the tarball, you will get 
this:

 The constant +C-NULL+ is being redefined (from #.(SB-SYS:INT-SAP #X00000000)
  to #.(SB-SYS:INT-SAP #X00000000))
See also:
  The ANSI Standard, Macro DEFCONSTANT
  The SBCL Manual, Node "Idiosyncrasies"

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

restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
  0: [CONTINUE] Go ahead and change the value.

...At which point you type 0 and it continues (lots of text printing out, 
which is inevitable in sbcl) but after all that you should see:

 Done! Now try (test-gtk::gtk-demo)

I can't try running cells-gtk on x64 because the server I tried this on does 
not run X11. But that isn't where you are getting stuck anyway.

The error sbcl is showing you is the same sort of thing that you saw with 
clisp. A package is not found. Again I don't understand this. I will show you 
what I did to install sbcl and to compile cells-gtk:

(0) mkdir ~/lisp
(1) cd ~/lisp
(2) tar xjf sbcl-0.9.12-x86-64-linux-binary.tar.bz2 
(3) cd sbcl-0.9.12-x86-64-linux/  
(4) INSTALL_ROOT=/home/pdenno sh install.sh  
(5) cd ..
(6)  tar zxf cells-gtk-2006-02-16.tgz   
(7) cd cells-gtk-2006-02-16/  
(8) sbcl --core ~/lisp/sbcl-0.9.12-x86-64-linux/output/sbcl.core  
(89 (load "load")
(10) enter 0 as described above.
(11) (test-gtk::gtk-demo)
