[Sbcl-devel] quicklisp on sbcl/mac, trouble with sb-bsd-sockets

[Mark H. David]

I have this log when I attempt load quicklisp in SBCL:


bash-3.2$ sbcl --core ~/sbcl-1.1.8-x86-64-darwin/output/sbcl.core
This is SBCL 1.1.8.0-19cda10, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.

My Mac OS is: OS X 10.10.3 (Yosemite).

Has anyone seen this? Can someone explain what might fix this?

Thanks,

Mark

You need to set SBCL_HOME appropriately if you're not installing in
the default location.

FTR, if someone implemented the following, then that would probably
solve this issue also.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/sbcl/+bug/666086

it's a nice opportunity to get familiar with the SBCL build process,
and doesn't require deep knowledge of anything.

Thank you. When I set SBCL_HOME to "/usr/local/lib/sbcl" I get a different error. Log follows. Any idea?

Thanks,

Mark

Yes, I got it to work when I built SBCL 1.2.10.71-997a155 and ran it. THANKS

I'm not sure why it is that the SBCL binaries for Mac OS X are so old.
As your experience with quicklisp illustrates, I believe they are too
old to be practically useful.
