I've looked in the FAQ for LISP and CLX and can't find much on
installation problems, which I'm having.

On a sun4m sparc running Solaris 2.4 with Sun's C compiler and GNU
Common LISP 2.1, I can successfully (or so it seems) compile CLX, but
when I try to use it:

>>(in-package 'xlib :use '(LISP))
#<"XLIB" package>
XLIB>>(provide 'clx)
("CLX")
XLIB>>(load "defsystem.l")
Loading defsystem.l
Finished loading defsystem.l
T
XLIB>>(load-clx "/usr/local/src/gnulisp/CLX-5.02-gcl-2.1/sparc")

Error: The function LOAD-CLX is undefined.
Fast links are on: do (use-fast-links nil) for debugging
Error signalled by EVALHOOK.
Backtrace: system:universal-error-handler > EVALHOOK

Broken at EVAL.
XLIB>>(load "provide.l")
Loading provide.l
Loading /usr/local/src/gnulisp/CLX-5.02-gcl-2.1/defsystem.l
Finished loading /usr/local/src/gnulisp/CLX-5.02-gcl-2.1/defsystem.l

Error: Cannot open the file /usr/local/src/gnulisp/CLX-5.02-gcl-2.1/sparc/akcl.sparc/package.
Fast links are on: do (use-fast-links nil) for debugging
Error signalled by LET.
Backtrace: system:universal-error-handler > evalhook > load > if > load-clx > let* > flet > load-binary > let > LOAD

Broken at EVAL.
XLIB>>

It doesn't work. I have a directory
/usr/local/src/gnulisp/CLX-5.02-gcl-2.1/sparc/, but there's no
akcl.sparc/package. There is a package.o there, however.

Suggestions anyone?

Hi Mark,

I'm not sure, if this solves your problem, but try something like
this :

(load-clx "/usr/local/src/gnulisp/CLX-5.02-gcl-2.1/*.l")

or 

(load-clx "/usr/local/src/gnulisp/CLX-5.02-gcl-2.1/sparc/*.l")

Probably it works,

Robert
