[comp.lang.lisp] Getting Kyoto Common Lisp to run under SunOS 4.0.3

brad@optilink.UUCP (Brad Yearwood) (12/27/89)

I'm having a devil of a time trying to get Kyoto Common Lisp (version
of June 3, 1987) running on a Sun-3 under SunOS 4.0.3.

I have applied to the KCL source some patches posted in April by Moises Lejter
of Brown University.  These patches remove a dependency upon the 4.2BSD-style
statically allocated FILE table.

The compiler (subdirectory cmpnew) was compiled -O, but everything else was
else was compiled -g.

The raw_kcl seems to start up OK, but it segmentation faults within:
	(load #"../cmpnew/cmpmain.lsp") 
when trying to process init_kcl.lsp.

If I remove all of the (gbc t) calls in init_kcl.lsp, the segmentation faults
go away and saved_kcl is created.  But if I try to run the resulting saved_kcl,
I get:

  Unrecoverable error: Someone allocated my memory!. 

If anyone has any other fixes needed to get KCL running under SunOS 4.0.3,
or otherwise knows what I might be doing wrong, I would very much appreciate
hearing from you.

Everything worked great under SunOS 3.5.
