I just downloaded the sources for version 17F.
It appears that it requires a CMUCL as a starting
point to build CMUCL.  I need pointers on ways
to bootstrap my self around this dilemma.
BTW I am on NetBSD-1.2 with Xwindows X11R6.

Thanks,

Bill

I'm running Paul Werkowski's version of it under NetBSD-1.2B, and I
haven't run into any problems with it.  For more information, go to
Paul's web page about it; http://www.mv.com/users/pw/lisp

If I had it all to do over again, I'd probably make /var a lot bigger.

CMUCL has been ported to FreeBSD and Linux. The FreeBSD version works
on NetBSD/i386.

Well, one thing I forgot to mention is that you can't use runtime
loading of foreign object when you run the FreeBSD version on
NetBSD. And you can't currently rebuild on NetBSD, so you'll have to
live with what C code is build into the distribution (like many
workstation users do as well).
