[comp.lang.lisp] KCL under Sun OS4.0 on Sun 3

randy@garnet.UUCP (Randy Orrison) (01/11/89)

Has anyone out there run into any problems running KCL under Sun
OS4.0, (hardware Sun3/***)?  I seem to recall seeing some alerts in
the dim past before I realized I might need it someday.  I'd like to
hear about any problems which I can expect to confront with this.

Please send replies to randy@poincare.geom.umn.edu, or if that doesn't
work, to randy@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu (or umn-cs.uucp).  Thanks!!!!!

I've been trying to install KCL under just the configuration
mentioned in the base note, and have been experiencing 
core dumps during installation.  Are there known fixes?

I have also been installing KCL on a Sun 3/60 running Sun OS 4.0.
The configuration proceeds fine, up until running raw_kcl.
While loading "../cmpnew/cmpmain.lsp" defining the function
"compile-file1" during a call to "string_eq" (called from "intern")
a segmentation fault occurs.  I am currently tracking this down,
but have other "software" to worry about too, so if anyone has
debugged this thing further than I have please send along your
suggestions.  Thanks.

In the event I finish this over the weekend, I'll post the results
next week.

	I've already done this on a SUN 3/160 running Sun OS 4.0.  The
bottom line was that I discovered a bug in the SUN compiler/assembler and
ended up using Gnu C compiler instead.  More recently SUN provided me with a
work around which involves some strange options to cc.  I haven't bothered to
test this out though.  Check out the archives for the KCL mailing list for
specific details.  I think they can be found either on cli.com or
rascal.ics.utexas.edu.  As a last resort mail me, but I'm going to be very
busy for a few weeks and may not be able to respond for a while.
