[comp.ai.digest] Portable CommonLoops Query

rajd@cel.fmc.COM (Rajendra Dodhiawala) (03/24/88)

I am trying to install Portable CommonLoops (PCL) on the Symbolics
Genera 7.1 environment. I have the March 17, 1988 version of PCL. 

I have followed the instructions in the defsys.lisp file. I set the
variable *pcl-directory*, save and load defsys.lisp, execute
(pcl::compile-pcl). I get an error while trying to compile fsc.lisp.
The error occurs in the first eval-when form: some nth level call from
load-defclass is trying to append #:SLOT-UNBOUND and NIL -- the first
argument is of the wrong type... etc.

The question I have is: Is there anybody out there who has been
successful in installing PCL on the Symbolics 7.1? I have had problems
with the last two releases of PCL (never tried before that). I suspect
that I am missing something. There hasn't been any such problems
expressed on the CommonLoops mailing list which has explicitly been
set up for this purpose. So any pointers in this direction will be
greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance.
