[linedit-devel] Exception when using linedit:linedit on lispworks 5.0 (linux 2.6)

[Lui Fungsin]

Hi,

I'm using the 32-bit professional version and created a console image
for testing.

linedit and all the dependency packages seem to be compiled ok, but
when I want to try it out:

CL-USER 3 > (linedit:linedit :prompt "haha")
Linedit version 0.15.12 [dumb mode]

I got an error (attached below). I wanted to use lispworks because
sbcl doesn't support tree shaking and I need to deliver a compact
executable on a embedded platform.

I assume that linedit is not supported on lispworks as of now. I'm
willing to work on porting it but if anyone can give some hints /
directions I'd greatly appreciate.

I noticed that if I start linedit from sbcl it will detect the
terminal type and start in smart mode whereas in lispworks it defaults
to dumb mode.

TIA
