Hi!

I hope I'm on topic here? If not, just ignore me.

I've installed LML (http://lml.b9.com/) and clisp with apt-get. I've
read the fine manual, which says:

"The easiest way to install LML is to use the Debian GNU/Linux operating
system. You can then use the command apt-get install cl-lml to
automatically download and install the LML package."

Trying to build the example raises an error:
----
·········@server:~$ clisp /usr/share/doc/cl-lml/examples/readme.lml

*** - There is no package with name "LML"
---

So what else has to be done in order to use clisp, debian and lml? I
think my problem is on the "lisp-site" (I'm quite new to lisp).

Regards, Markus

No way, already tried that. I've contacted the maintainer of cl-lml in
order to solve the problem.

A silly question, but did you try actually loading the LML package?

(require :lml)
(load "file.lml")

will do.  AFAIK, cl-lml installs lml under the common-lisp-controller
which enables us to load packages with just "require".

Yes. Some people are having the same problem, so it seems that the
packages in debian/testing don't work as they should.

If you run:
apt-get install --reinstall clisp

as root I suspect you'll see the error message:

Installing clc...
/usr/lib/clisp/base/lisp.run: initialization file was not created by this version of LISP
Error running /usr/bin/clisp
Installation of CLC failed
register-common-lisp-implementation: Compiler clisp installed

As neither the clisp nor common-lisp-controller developers have responded
to the bug report I suspect they are unfortunately on holiday. I realise
now I should have also filed a critical bug report again the
common-lisp-controller to keep it out of testing (I was once yelled at for
duplicating a bug report in these kind of circumstance so I'd like to
know if there's a better way).

Regards,
Adam

The bug causing this error in the clisp package.

The version of clisp (2.28-1) in debian/testing does not have Common Lisp
Controller functionality.
