Subject: Free LISP compiler for Linux & Solaris?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
I'm involved in a project using C++ at the moment, and I have finally
gotten sick enough of g++ 2.7.x and its template mishandling to try
something different. I'd love to use Common LISP, as it solves a
couple of problems right off the bat (hash tables, array access), but
I can't find a good one for my Linux system, where development
proceeds, and the Solaris system that is my target.
OTOH, I'm not really sure where to look. I have GNU CL on my machine
at the moment, but after it barfed on the ANSI loop macro I'm looking
for something else.
I'd love to use CMU CL, but I can't find the Linux version anywhere.
Pointers, anyone? I'd like something pretty close to the ANSI
standard, but at the moment something with the loop macro, a working
defpackage and good compiled output will fill my bill. Interpreters
are out.
The alternative is (bleh) Ada.
CC replies to me, please: my newsfeed is somewhat unreliable.

There is LOOP for GNU CL on Raymond Toy's site
<http://www.mindspring.com/~rtoy/software/gcl/index.html>
Defpackage is there, too.

I use Allegro Common Lisp on both SunOS/Solaris and Linux.
The Solaris version costs real money and the Linux version is FREE
(no CLIM on Linux tho). It's solid on both platforms, behaved
the same for me (I had to modify your C flags in my makefiles for
foreign function code but that was it). See http://www.franz.com/ to see
how you can get it.
CMUCL is also available for Linux and Solaris.
as of April it worked but I didn't do any real work on it.
I did benchmark it on Linux/PPro though and it appeared fast enough
when it didn't garbage collect. Apparently there've been two more
releases after I checked it out. It has a good/helpful optimizing
compiler and I'd keep it in mind if you need fast code.
http://www.cons.org/cmucl/ is where I get it from.
