I have been having trouble installing CLX and CLUE that came with our copy of X11R4. Our situation is a Sun SPARC running Lucid 3.0 Common lisp. On top of that we run "May Day REV II" PCL with the defmethod optimization posted to CommonLoops mailing list. The problems may be due to the fact that we do *not* have the most recent versions of either: CLX just states that it is version 4, and CLUE's documentation states that it is version 7.1. As I understand CLX is up to R4.3 and CLUE's up to 7.2 or 7.20. For CLX: the image.lisp works when PCL is not loaded. The trapezoid.lisp, and beziertest.lisp files fail in all cases. Trapezoid.lisp: >>Error: Extension ZoidExtension isn't defined for display #<PCL::STD-INSTANCE orion:0 (MIT X Consortium R4)> XLIB::X-ERROR: Required arg 0 (CONDITION): XLIB::ABSENT-EXTENSION Rest arg 1 (KEYARGS): (:NAME :|ZoidExtension| :DISPLAY #<PCL::STD-INSTANCE orion:0 (MIT X Consortium R4)>) :A 0: Abort to Lisp Top Level -> :b XLIB::X-ERROR <- XLIB:DRAW-FILLED-TRAPEZOIDS <- XLIB::ZOID-TEST <- EVAL <- SYSTEM:ENTER-TOP-LEVEL Beziertest.lisp: >>Error: The value of VECTOR, #<Vector (UNSIGNED-BYTE 16) 1736 953556>, should be a SIMPLE-VECTOR SVREF: Required arg 0 (VECTOR): #<Vector (UNSIGNED-BYTE 16) 1736 953556> Required arg 1 (INDEX): 0 For CLUE: menu.lisp works partially!

Please follow up since we are having mailer troubles at the moment. Thanks in advance! -- Ralph P.
