I finally got my copy of PCL and it looks really good (design,
typesetting) and even smells good (one of the qualities of a new
book :D). BTW, was the typesetting done with some Lisp tool, or
TeX, or did the Apress crew do it?
Well, I just downloaded Lispbox 0.3 for the Mac (with CLisp in it)
and installed. Unfortunately Emacs doesn't run. The crash log
shows the following problem (with ncurses; seems like Lispbox
linked Emacs against a newer version when compiling if I
understand that right):
OS Version: 10.3.9 (Build 7W98)
Report Version: 2
Command: Emacs
Path:
/Applications/Lispbox/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/../../../Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
Version: ??? (???)
PID: 659
Thread: Unknown
Link (dyld) error:
dyld:
/Applications/Lispbox/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/../../../Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
version mismatch for library: /usr/lib/libncurses.5.dylib
(compatibility version of user: 6.0.0 greater than library's
version: 5.0.0)
Notes: IIRC I don't have Darwinports installed, and definitely no
Fink. This is pretty much a pristine Mac system in regard to
installed libraries and programs.

The final typesetting was done by Apress in Framemarker. I did,
however, use cl-typesetting to generates nice PDFs for red-pen editing
while I was working on the book. And the box-and-arrow diagrams were
generated using CL-PDF.

Yes. This is due to my inability to hide my Fink installation from GCC
or something when building Lispbox. I thought I had fixed this in the
0.3 builds but it turns out I hadn't. Stay tuned for a 0.4 build which
will hopefully do a better job. Sorry for the confusion.

Do you think 0.4 will be available for Windows too?

Some version soon will. Mostly it's limited by my not having a Windows
box myself to build it on. If someone wants to grab the Lispbox source:
<http://www.common-lisp.net/pcl/lispbox-0.3-source.tar.gz>
And fill in the Windows build (which will entail mucking around with a
makefile a bit and figuring (I suspect) out how best to unpack and
repack the Windows binary distribution of Emacs 21.4, I'll happily
accept patches that might reduce the amount of time I have to spend
futzing around with Windows myself.
