Does anyone know where I can obtain a distribution of ansi common lisp for
the Mac OS X? Preferably one which allows me to integrate it with emacs,
which is aleady built in to Mac OS X 10.4. Freeware is greatly appreciated.
I am running OS X 10.4.1
Thanks.

OpenMCL is probably the best match for your stated needs. You'll also
want to grab SLIME, an elisp package for interacting with your Common
Lisp from Emacs. Other options are the comercial Lisps Allegro Common
Lisp (from Franz) and Lispworks (from Lispworks) which both have OS X
versions and free trial editions. And SBCL and CMUCL, are other open
source alternatives, both of which run on various flavors of Unix
including OS X.

Darwinports has OpenMCL and CLISP. Slime works great with OpenMCL.

I'm pretty sure I remember building SBCL on my powerbook and it worked fine.
For emacs on OS X, your choices are:
* The console version that ships with the OS.
* Standard X11 XEmacs from darwinports or fink (or compile it yourself)
* I use a CVS branch of XEmacs, the sjt branch, that supports XFT.
cvs -d ············@cvs.xemacs.org:/p ack/xemacscvs co -d xemacs-21.5 -r \
sjt-xft xemacs
* A build of Carbon (GNU) Emacs like
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-en/CarbonEmacsPackage
or Aquamacs (will annoy you if you are used to emacs keybindings and
standard behavior).
* Carbon XEmacs

Peter forgot to mention clisp. AFAIK, clisp is the oldest Common Lisp
implementation that runs on OpenStep (NeXTSTEP, OPENSTEP and now MacOSX).

Just for the completeness: sbcl runs fine on Mac too. (For emacs try out
Aquamacs, it is really *nice*)
