Problem installing Weblocks

[fre...@gmail.com]

Hi everyone,

I have been having a lot of trouble installing Weblocks through
Clbuild.

Thanks to the helpful guys on the clbuild mailing list I'm almost
there but now I'm getting an error whilst trying to build the actual
Weblocks package.

I have put the full dump of the error here: http://kzar.co.uk/weblocks3

If anyone can help me get around this so I can give Weblocks a try I
would really appreciate it.

Thanks, Dave.

Sorry about that. Let's try to get Mercurial support integrated
into clbuild so others won't have these problems...

I suggest you try the latest version of Weblocks. Much has changed
since the version that clbuild fetches.

The next prepackaged release will be ready soon. Until then
please use the instructions at [1].

Please report any other problems so we can help you get it up and
running. :)

Leslie

A patch to add mercurial support and one to update the link for
Weblocks have already been uploaded to the clbuild mailing list.

Albert Krewinkel currently has them sitting in his repository at:
http://darcs.moltkeplatz.de/clbuild

They are:
* Add support for pulling from mercurial repositories
* Weblocks has moved to a mercurial repository

Oh, I forgot Albert's extra patch:

* Just warn when 'hg' or 'wget' are not found.

Not required, but rounds out the mercurial feature.

Hi Leslie,

Thanks for your reply.

I am actually already using the Mercurial repository to obtain
Weblocks. Any other ideas what could be the cause of my problem?

http://kzar.co.uk/weblocks3 - Dump of output when installing from
http://www.bitbucket.org/S11001001/weblocks-dev/

Thanks and keep up the good work, Dave.

Yeah, I got a hunch.

Are you using SBCL 1.0.21?

Leslie

[fre...@gmail.com]

Yea I'm using SBCL version 1.0.21.35, it's what clbuild gave me when I
did ./clbuild update sbcl and ./clbuild compile-implementation sbcl

Cheers, Dave.

[Leslie P. Polzer]

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce this using SBCL 1.0.22 or 1.0.21.

I'm setting up a clbuild environment now, maybe I get to see the error
then...

[Leslie P. Polzer]

Okay, I think I nailed that one in dev (bb17b6c5907d).

Can you update against weblocks-dev and try again?

[fre...@gmail.com]

Hey Leslie,

I think you cracked it, that error isn't coming up any more.

I'm actually getting another error now when trying to build the lisp
image though!
I have uploaded a dump of the output at http://kzar.co.uk/weblocks5 ,
I don't think it's a Weblocks issue this time but what do you think?

Cheers, Dave.

That's right. Seems like it's trying to build docs for cl-containers
but is missing cl-markdown. I suppose it's back to the clbuild
mailing list, then... ;)

Sorry for the hassle, I hope you'll get a working setup soon.
