[mcclim-devel] help needed with the beagle backend

[Tom Winchester]

Hi there.

I have been trying to get the beagle back-end for mcclim running. I am 
using use openmcl 0.14.2-p1, mac os x 10.3.8, and a fresh cvs of mcclim 
taken this morning. The clx back-end runs nicely -thanks to the 
splendid effort of the mcclim team.

My first attempt consisted of executing the statement (asdf:operate 
'asdf:load-op 'beagle). Even when repeated in an OpenMCL Listener, the 
result was:

 > Error in process Listener(3): Cannot IMPORT "SET-PORT-KEYBOARD-FOCUS" 
from package "CLIMI"
 > While executing: CCL::OPERATION-ON-ALL-SPECS
 > Type :GO to continue, :POP to abort.
 > If continued: Ignore attempt to IMPORT "SET-PORT-KEYBOARD-FOCUS" from 
package "CLIMI"
Type :? for other options.

I then examined the documentation in the Backends/beagle directiory of 
the mcclim (cvs) distribution. The load files essentially perform the 
following steps inside the OpenMCL Listener window:

(load "/opt/local/share/openmcl/0.14.2-p1/tools/asdf")
(pushnew "/Users/tom/.asdf-install-openmcl-dir/systems/" 
asdf:*central-registry*)
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :asdf-install)
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op 'clx)
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :mcclim)
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :clim-examples)
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :clim-listener)
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :beagle)

This is equivalent to my current ~/.openmclrc file, except that all of 
this is stated to be done inside the OpenMCL Listener, and the final 
statement.

Upon pasting the above sequence of statements into an OpenMCL Listener 
the same error results. Does anyone know if this error is a genuine 
bug, or is there something else missing in the loading sequence I 
describe above.

I am aware that the beagle back-end is experimental, but my aim is to 
be able to reproduce some of the screen-shots of mcclim using the 
beagle back-end which available on the web.

Thanks.
