defpackage.lisp usage with GCL

[John T. H. Wong]

Dear ILISP and GCL users,

I've tried to run common-lisp in emacs with ILISP and GCL.
It turned out that GCL is lagging behind the CL ANSI standard and it
does not include DEFPACKAGE. So i get a defpackage form from CMU and
tried the installation of a DEFPACKAGE in my GCL.
However, when i tried loading in the defpackage.lisp wen
initializing GCL some error message come out:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GCL (GNU Common Lisp) Version(2.3) Sat Mar 25 12:33:44 EST 2000

Loading init.lsp
Loading /usr/local/lib/gcl-2.3/lsp/defpackage.lisp

Error: Cannot open the file loop.
Fast links are on: do (si::use-fast-links nil) for debugging
Error signalled by UNLESS.
Broken at REQUIRE. Type :H for Help.
DEFPACKAGE>>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've no idea what that's about, can somebody point me the way to fix
that? And i've got a file make-defpackage.lisp also but i'm not sure
about its usage.

Please point me the way, thank so much.

Regards
John

You also need the loop macro, which should be available from similar
places to defpackage.
