Subject: problem with HP Lisp Application Environment ?

Message-ID: <1990Jun22.150432.612@inel.gov>
I'm having a problem trying to run Flavors in the HP Common Lisp II
applications environment (lisp-ae). We have code that was compiled (and
running fine) in the development environment (lisp-de), but when we
load the compiled files into lisp-ae, we cannot create instances (or
compile a flavor) because the compiler is apparently unavailable in
lisp-ae. Obviously, it's hard to believe that the lisp-ae would be
useless for object-oriented programming; HP and Lucid (the lisp OEM)
have been no help so far.
Since my customer on the project went out and bought several copies of
lisp-ae to run the application we developed, they are not too impressed
at the moment. Neither am I, for that matter. Has anybody out there
seen this problem, and more importantly, does anybody know the way to
solve it? (BTW the HP Lisp version is Rev A.02.15)
Thanks for any clues (e-mail is best),

Sorry we hadn't responded to your request yet; we just received it a
couple of days ago. It's hard to be sure without having a test case,
but it is likely that the problem is that the Flavors system is trying
to compile your methods. The variable
flavors:*flavor-compile-methods* controls this behavior. It is
supposed to be T in the development environment and NIL in the
application environment. If it is set to T the undefined function
COMPILE will be called in the application environment. If this is not
your problem, please let me know.
