AllegroServe, Gray streams, CLOCC and all that ...
Will Fitzgerald
I've installed CMUCL under Linux, and have started trying to load Jochen
Schmidt's Allegroserve port
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableaserve/).
There are a number of dependencies, including Gray streams for CMUCL.
Is there a standard way of installing standard libraries (from CLOCC?) so
that Portable Allegroserve happens somewhat easily?

If you use Debian sid/unstable and have added cCLan to your sources.list:
$ apt-get install portableaserve
...
$ lisp
...
* (require :aserve)
I hope that's easy enough.
cCLan: <URL: http://cclan.sourceforge.net/>

Yes, that's certainly easy, but I'm working under Redhat.
Any other suggestions?

Well, you could
* download the debian common-lisp-controller, cmucl, cmucl-normal and
cmucl-source packages from Debian unstable;
* run alien to convert them to debs, then install them (you may need
to lie to rpm about your libc version, and so on);
* run the postinstallation scripts of these packages by hand, to
compile the relevant bits (cmucl-graystream, for instance);
* download the cCLan package of portableaserve, and other bits;
similarly, run alien, install, run the postinst by hand.
The tricky bit is convincing cmucl that it wants to install on your
system; after that, it should be easy :)
(Disclaimer: I don't use RedHat. Previous attempts of installing cCLan
debs on RH have reportedly been moderately to very successful).

There should not be more dependencies than that and MK:DEFSYSTEM.
I personally think Gray streams _should_ be in anyones lisp-image and
MK:DEFSYSTEM is so widely used that it really pays to get a copy.

Hm...

Then Portable AServe should compile and finally run an instance of

What did you try so far?

Gray Streams are part of the standard CMU CL distribution (if you
installed that). You can load the library with
* (load "library:subsystems/gray-streams-library")
Future releases of CMU CL will allow you to use require to load such
standard libraries.

I don't know what other dependencies Portable Allegroserve has...
Regs, Pierre.

I was successful in loading Portable Allegroserve into a 'virgin'
CMUCL image under RedHat Linux -- here's what I had to do (after
getting the code, of course).
1. Start CMUCL
2. Load the Gray streams for CMUCL
(load "library:subsystems/gray-streams-library")
3. Load the defsystem code (listed as "DEFSYSTEM Interim 3.2") from, I
think, the CLOCC project. I stored this locally in my directory.
(load "defsystem.lisp")
4. Comment out the following lines from the Portable Allegroserve file
INSTALL.LISP:
;(unless (member :gray-streams *features*)
; (mk:oos :cmucl-graystream :load))
5. Load INSTALL.LISP
(load "INSTALL.LISP")
Thanks for all who responded.

Instead of commenting it out you can simply do a (push :gray-streams
*features*) into your .cmucl-init.lisp
ciao,
