Clisp has a prepared garnet package. I don't know of any ready-to-run
port of garnet to Gcl and I expect the compilation to be non-trivial,
so I would recommend Clisp.
It depends on what you are trying to do. I once tried Clisp with
garnet on a 486-50/DX with 16 MB and it was not accepable. If you have
a fast Pentium system with at least 32 MB, I expect the compination to
run fast enough for learning garnet and it's concepts and try things
out.
See my home page for links to pages on CMU CL porting activities.
