Hi, I have installed LispWorks personal edition for Linux with rpm.
Unfortunatly when I try to run LispWorks, I get this message:
"Failed to find adress for external symbol "canvusWidgetClass"
I use KDE
Do you have any idea or suggestion to solve this problem? I really would
like to learn lisp :o)
Thanks a lot,
Ben

I did the following.....
remove any lesstif rpms if you have them installed
as root user ....
(if rpm -qa | grep lesstif comes up with anything, do a rpm -e
lesstif-xxxxxxx )
go to http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif/ , type whatever in the fields,
click
on the Metrolink banner, and download and install the open group's motif
rpms
(rpm -i openmotif-2.1.30-1_MLI.i386.rpm )
This should solve your problems.
I like Franz's non guified linux version A LOT better, but it all comes
down to personal
preference. Set up emacs such that it works seemlessly with the Franz
linux trial, and you
will be a very happy Lisp learner.

Do you have Motif/Lesstif installed properly (you need one of those)?
Have you read the installation guide thoroughly? It looks like some X
thing, but I'm not enough into Motif/Lesstif to know if it's one of
those.

LispWorks does work with Lesstif, assuming it can find the library. See
