**LispWorks Personal Edition** is cross-platform development tool for **Common Lisp**. I did a small research, looking for any simple installation guide, but I found only this and this . After following these instructions LispWorks works, but it doesn't follow system-wide GTK theme.

Does anybody know what this error means and how to get Lispworks Personal edition to run on Redhat?

It seems to be available here . But when I try the following command: $ sudo pacman -S mit-scheme I get the following: error: target not found: mit-scheme I've also tried with mit-scheme-git (from here ), since that seems more recently updated, but I got the same result. Is there some other package I should be installing? Or do I need to do it without using the package manager?

I convinced myself to learn Lisp. I'd like to know of a way to install a Lisp Interpreter on Debian(Jessie). I was reading about clisp but is not in the repositories of Debian.

I receive a Warning message from SBCL informing me that, in this session, I am using ASDF 3.3.1, but that I have ASDF 3.1.7 "registered." I previously had my Emacs (/sbcl/slime/quicklisp) environment set up and working but ran into some issues fighting with my distro's (*Ubuntu 17.10*) package-management system... and completely uninstalled and re-installed. Specifically, I installed the Emacs,SBCL & Quicklisp packages from Canonical's repository. Taking the advice of another who knows more about these things than I, I installed Slime using **gnuELPA** from within Emacs. I have no knowledge of which package is responsible for the **ASDF 3.1.7**, nor how I ended up (from SBCL's viewpoint) with **ASDF 3.3.1**. I would like for my environment to be consistent and remove the warning message. I don't notice (because I'm still learning Emacs & SBCL, perhaps?) that this is causing me any other issues. My question, frankly, is: **How do I upgrade SBCL from 3.1.7 to the latest (presumably 3.3.1) version?** I don't yet understand what this is trying to tell me: > (a) upgrade this configured ASDF to a newer version, > (b) install a newer ASDF and register it in front of the former in your > configuration, or > (c) uninstall or unregister this and any other old version of ASDF from > your configuration. because ASDF installation is apparently transparent. I don't recall installing ASDF directly. The last line of the warning message is clear: RTFM and/or seek an expert. I've begun the reading part... and, expect it to take a fair amount of time. If any expert would like to share their gray matter with me, I'll much appreciate it and provide any further details that may be necessary for the solution I seek.

I found out the floating point multiplication in mit-scheme is not accurate, for example, 1 ]=> (* 1991.0 0.1) will produce ;Value: 199.10000000000002 Could you please help explain the appearance of the weird trailing number “2”?

I have tried to run the Clisp which is already available in opt/csw/bin path I didn't manage to get it working. ***Expected result:*** To see a prompt. ***Actual results (terminal output):*** - when I tried to run clisp using ./clisp inside the path opt/csw/bin, I get the below error. # ./clisp ld.so.1: lisp.run: fatal: libavcall.so.0: open failed: No such file or directory Killed - I tried to list available library for the package clisp, I get the following but no libavcall.so.0 file is present. # ldd clisp libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1 libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2 ***What I tried to fix the issue:*** - Updated the package, still throws the same error after running ./clisp command. - Added /opt/csw/bin to the path variable, still the error persists. ***My Observations:*** - I tried to run ldd clisp command on the root path, I get # ldd clisp ldd: clisp: cannot open file: No such file or directory - When I tried to run the same command after entering into the path opt/csw/bin, I get # ldd clisp libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1 libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2 I tried to follow the instructions given in the below link: https://www.opencsw.org/package/clisp/ Did I miss anything to install clisp so I am getting this error? I am new to clisp. Any help to resolve the issue is appreciated.

In Emacs, how can I make a macro, that is local to the HTML mode, and uses dashes and dots? Take a look at the Elisp below: (define-abbrev-table 'html-mode-abbrev-table '(("..." "...") ; won't work ("---" "—") ; won't work ("aaa" "...") ; works ("bbb" "—") )) ; works

I do lots of automatizing in Emacs, by stacking commands that I know from using **manually**. That is a method I recommend, because it doesn't take much effort: you use Emacs as you ordinarily would, and now and then it pops to your head, "hey, I'm always using those commands in succession, why don't I just merge them?" All the more simple since you know the commands, by name or shortcut. One problem, though, is that when you stack commands, you get lots of messages flashing by in the "echo area" (same place as the minibuffer). Those messages don't make any sense, as everything going on below (the functions invoked) is (should be) transparent to the user. So, could you **mute** it, and then **unmute** it? Take a look below: (defun invisible-pretty-mail () "Automatize `pretty-mail'." (interactive) ; (mute-echo-area) (rmail-edit-current-message) (pretty-mail) ; lots of replace-string, replace-regexp, etc. here ; that will flood messages (rmail-cease-edit) ; (unmute-echo-area) ) **Edit** in response to sds' [answer](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/67191/13136) : I'm very much aware of those notes you refer to, as they are very common in the Emacs help system. While your advice is not incorrect in general, let us examine this particular situation in greater detail: 1) There is an Elisp function in .emacs. 2) It uses commands that the person who setup the function is very familiar with, so it is very readable and maintainable. 3) The function works exactly as intended, with 4) the _one_ drawback that it echos too many messages. Now, in this situation, would you really suggest a **complete rewrite** of that function (and many others), using altogether different commands, commands that may or may not exist, as a possible way of reducing messages, which we won't even know will happen? **Edit**: An example (that works), after the help I got from [Drew](https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/83849/13136) . (defun test-suppress-msgs () (interactive) (let ((log-size message-log-max)) (setq message-log-max nil) (message "This message is suppressed.") (setq message-log-max log-size) (message "This is echoed, and logged.") ))

I want to install [clisp](https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=clisp) . My [/etc/apt/sources.list](https://wiki.debian.org/SourcesList) : deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib deb http://http.debian.net/debian testing main contrib non-free deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian testing main contrib non-free deb http://http.debian.net/debian testing-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian testing-updates main contrib non-free aptitude search clisp returns nothing. Why?

I was wondering, which of these programming languages are faster at handling big data files of only **strings**: Haskell, C++(Boost), AWK, Bash, Lisp... So far I have found the paper [Haskell vs. Ada vs. C++ vs. Awk vs. ...](http://cpsc.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/tr1049.pdf) . However, this paper is a little out of date.

I am trying to make up a .emacs file on my new Fedora 20 computer, and get this line when I use emacs -debug-init &. I expect it to be a trivial mistake, but I find the help on this too detailed and confusing, so can anyone please interpret it for me and say what the error is likely to be?

I install slime through ELPA. Here is what my .emacs file looks like: (setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl --noinform") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/slime/") (require 'slime) (slime-setup) (setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ ") ("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/ ") ("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/ "))) I get the following error when I start emacs: > Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading > `/home/name/.emacs': > > File error: Cannot open load file, slime > > To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the > cause of the error in your initialization file.

I'm trying to install slime on a debian wheezy distro 64 bit called Crunchbang, trying to install common lisp, followed this tutorial , although the title says it's for windows, I installed it on linux and slime seems to work perfectly (or so i think). However, I see this error Cannot open slime-helper.el so i ran emacs --debug-init and got this error ` Should I care about it? And if so, how to fix it? note that i have sbcl, not clisp, and that my .emacs fle looks like this (load (expand-file-name "~/quicklisp/slime-helper.el")) (setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl") (require 'slime) (slime-setup '(slime-fancy))
