Another story in the saga of portability.. My Lisp application calls a C univariate root-finder. The application works under AKCL or Lucid on sun4s/sparcs, but not under AKCL on an SGI Personal Iris. Under AKCL, I do: (defentry c-realroots (int string) (string "CRealRoots")) where CRealRoots is a C function that takes an integer representing the degree of a polynomial, and a string encoding its coefficients, and returns a string encoding the coefficients. This is all standard KCL; but it fails on a personal iris (AKCL v. 1.313). Does anyone know the correct way of compiling and loading in C code into a running AKCL on a Personal Iris ? Thank you very much, Andrew V. Royappa avr@purdue.edu {pur-ee,ucbvax,decvax}!purdue!avr
