Cannot install plop with SBCL v.1.0.24

[Yuriy Kashnikov]

Dear plopers,

I have tried to install and use plop, but unfortunately I've stuck in
installation. Firstly, documentation on http://code.google.com/p/plop/wiki/QuickStart
lacks the following line -
CL-USER>(load "foo/trunk/thirdparty/numrecip.lisp")

Anyway, I've got an error which I could not overcome with my own
knowledge which limits at zero in such cases. Please see the following
trace and help to try plop.


Backtrace:
0: (SB-PCL::FIND-CLASS-FROM-CELL LOAD-OP NIL T)

SB-PCL::CELL = NIL
SB-PCL::ERRORP = T

Thanks!

Hi Yuriy,

Thanks for trying out plop! I had messed up the plop.asd file, which
is now fixed in the latest svn revision (169). If the problem
persists, please let me know (and send out the whole compilation
output if possible). Also, the quick start guide is now horribly out
of date I'm afraid! To play around, doing e.g.

(run-benchmarks #'moses 5000)

will run moses on a bunch of benchmarks - the code in benchmark.lisp
should give you an idea of how to define your own if you'd like...

Best,
Moshe

Hi Moshe,

I tried compiling plop (latest svn, r169) with SBCL 1.0.23.

plop.asdf seems to be broken still, mentioning several files that
don't exist in the code (namely es, convert, action, abstraction,
prior, sample, moses and tune -.lisp).

I commented those out and it said that p-to-cl is undefined. It's used
in benchmark.lisp and eval.lisp but not mentioned in the code.

Thanks,

OK, I added this in. Sorry about that!
