Am looking for assistance in knowing where and what files are needed to run
lisp on IRIX 6.5.9.

I am not a programmer I am a systems administrator so take pity on me :)

Do you require a freeware (public domain, open source, etc.) lisp or a 
commercial one? Try Xanalys and/or Franz for commercial lisps. I have 
used the former's product on IRIX, so I'm certain of that. As for 
freeware, CLISP should work. I don't know about CMUCL, I would guess 
not. (You can find out more about the free ones at www.cons.org.)

Both work [at least some version(s) of each]. See:

I currently run the (somewhat old) prebuilt Irix 6.2 version of CMUCL
on my Irix 6.5.5 system. It should work just as well on 6.5.9...
