Hi Matthew!

Thanks for the report and patch. Hardcoding both the name and location
of the C runtime library is a bit of a problem though, given the
number of platforms supported by clisp.

On Debian Etch I got the same warning about the :stdc language
specifier, but for me it didn't end in the debugger (also clisp 2.41,
but the one delivered with the distribution). So, at the time, I
didn't look too long at it, since for every platform, clisp tries to
use a sensible default.

Adding (:language #-win32 :stdc #+win32 :stdc-stdcall) silenced the
warning, but I never got the '"gethostname" not found' error. Does
that disappear if you add the above language declaration?

If not, I suppose I'll have to install the clisp.sf.net version to
find out what's happening myself. I'd be most gratefull if you could
try the above for me though.

Yep, so that's why I prefer to look for a different solution for that
part of the problem (for now).

Once more thanks for your report.

bye,

Erik.
