If you have any interest in making it work, let me know, and I can send you the entire output and all constructed files. I maintain that if you release something as open source, making use of existing facilities to configure, build, and install it is the baseline for comparisons. | Maybe "apt-get build-dep clisp" will fix it for you. I am not interested in help on building it. Christ, I thanked the people who took time out of their lives to build Debian packages. What I wanted to do was to build the packages from scratch so I had some control over the build parameters. You may have noticed that the CLISPs I have used have included a getpid function and others have not been so fortunate. So building the packages like the Debian maintainer does would obviously not help me understand what others would /not/ get. However, each of 2.27, 2.28, 2.29, and 2.30 bombed in various ways when the tarball was unrolled and the configure script was run in prescribed ways. When all four releases refused to build out of the box, my SIGWTF had maintained a steady high throughout and the only way to get rid of it was to scrap the "build from scratch to see what happened" project. Others have reported to me by mail that they had given up on CLISP for similar reasons and were relieved that it was not their fault they could not make it work. This should be taken seriously by the CLISP gang. -- Erik Naggum, Oslo, Norway Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder.
