Hi all,

The problems I have been experiencing with Hemlock may be related to the
fact that I did not load the CLX and Hemlock subsystems before typing
(ed). Those instructions are set out here:
http://www.cons.org/cmucl/hemlock/

The CMUCL 18d release notes state:
http://www.cons.org/cmucl/news/release-18d.txt

 - the modules: pathname is initialized sensibly, to make REQUIRE work
   correctly out of the box. For example, you can now say (require :clx)
   to load the precompiled clx-library subsystem.

Well on Debian Woody/Unstable I can't:

$ lisp
CMU Common Lisp release x86-linux 3.0.12 18d+ 23 May 2002 build 3350
...

* (require :clx)


File-error in function COMMON-LISP::INTERNAL-LOAD:
   "modules:clx-library" does not exist.

Restarts:
  0: [CHECK-AGAIN] See if it exists now.
  1: [USE-VALUE  ] Prompt for a new name.
  2: [CONTINUE   ] Return NIL from load of #p"modules:clx-library".
  3: [ABORT      ] Return to Top-Level.

Debug  (type H for help)

(COMMON-LISP::INTERNAL-LOAD #p"modules:clx-library" NIL :ERROR NIL)

                         :REPORT
                         "Prompt for a new name."
                         (WRITE-STRING "New name: " *QUERY-IO*)
                         ...))
0] 


Any tips?

Thanks,
Adam

You're not using 18d, which might explain why the 18d release notes
don't apply.

Admittedly, the documentation coming with Debian's cmucl isn't
terribly useful on this issue; assuming that you have cmucl-source
installed, try

* (require :cmucl-clx)

followed by

* (require :cmucl-hemlock)

followed by

* (ed)

Cheers,

Christophe

Thanks Christophe. (ed) by itself must load these libraries anyway. This
just avoids the long pause when starting the editor (when the libraries
are loaded in the background).

At the (require :cmucl-hemlock) stage I get a strange warning:

* (require :cmucl-hemlock)

; Loading #p"/usr/share/common-lisp/systems/cmucl-hemlock.system".
Warning: System CLX doesn't seem to be defined...
NIL

Can you please confirm that Hemlock starts with only two windows, one
called "Hemlock 1" and the other below it called "Hemlock 3".

Thanks,
Adam

Thanks Tim for your reply via email. It turns out this is normal.
