newbie: plisp install questions

  • Follow


Hi,

I am trying to generate some graphics, and thought plisp would a nice
way to go.

I am running GNU clisp 2.41 on cygwin & windows XP and slime on emacs

I downloaded a plisp distribution and went to the compile directory.
I can evaluate the plisp-compile.lisp up to a point.  Here it wants to
compile a bunch of files which it cannot find.  Here is the command

(let ((dir "common-lisp/"))
    (dolist (x '("bind" "control" "functional" "lisp-util"
		 "loop" "mvalues" "numeric" "for"))
      (load (concatenate 'string dir x))))

I looked for these files in my plisp and clisp directories and could
not find them.

I know that plisp is pretty old (but slightly less than ps), so does
that mean that it is using non-standard lisp functions? The puzzling
thing is that some of these (for, loop) are standard lisp commands.

Thanks for suggestions or pointers,

Mirko

It seems fun so far.

so you should have a folder named 'common-lisp' within the plisp
folder, or you unpacked the archive incorrectly.

Yep, you're right.  I double checked the original archive and there is
a common-lisp subdirectory.  I don't know how I did not un-pack it.

Thanks.
