[fomus-devel] Installation problem: fomus commandline application

If there's no compilation, this tells me that nothing changed when you
updated (it's just loading the old .fasl files instead of compiling new
ones) and otherwise it's just doing the same thing, but I can't know for
sure.  I just need more information--I can see the Lisp can't read some
file, but I don't know which one it is.  Could you cut+paste the entire
output, from when you type the ./install.sh command to where it breaks? 
Also use SBCL and please include a backtrace (type "backtrace" at the
debug prompt in SBCL), I at least need to know which file is the problem
file.  If the backtrace shows you a filename, could you also e-mail me
that file?

Also, unzip the attached fomus_dbg file and use this, to be absolutely
sure you have the same code I have.  This will help me a lot.  Sorry for
the inconvenience, I just can't replicate the error.

Also, SBCL 0.8.16 is a bit older than the current release (0.9.16 last
time I looked), and I think CMUCL might have bumped up a version or two
since 2004--the current version is 19c--this could be an issue.

Thanks,
David
