Hi,
I'm pretty new to lisp. I'm trying to implement a timeout mentioned
here http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/browse_thread/thread/f2f13557b5a19d73/fdf603730390c5c0?lnk=gst&q=timeout+clisp&rnum=2#
I just installed clisp 2.41, but for some reason the LINUX package is
not there. I checked by doing a (list-all-packages) I tried
searching for the fork symbol by doing:
(find-all-symbols "fork")
but it returned nil.
My question is how would I either get the LINUX package or some other
package that supports those system calls I need. Or if there is a way
to do those calls without installing extra packages.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kanit

There is an option when compiling CLISP on LINUX to have a LINUX
package exporting glibc bindings.
Try: ./configure --with-module=bindings/glibc
Unfortunately, this package is not available on other unix systems
(even when they use glibc), or on other posix systems. But in these
cases, you should be able to easily access the OS layer using the FFI.
Here is a with-timeout using alarm(2) instead of fork(2)+sleep(2)+kill(2):

I tried compiling with the flag you suggested, but still no luck. The
file bindings/glibc does it exist and it appears to have installed
with the option ok. Could it be the version I downloaded? I
downloaded it from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/clisp/release/2.41
Thanks,

What does configure say? Did it find glibc?
Are you running on Linux?
Do you launch clisp with the full linkset?
[···@thalassa common-lisp]$ clisp -norc -q -x ' (find-package "LINUX")'
NIL
[···@thalassa common-lisp]$ clisp -Kfull -norc -q -x ' (find-package "LINUX")'
#<PACKAGE LINUX>

Yeah, it was the -Kfull flag that did it. It works now. Thanks!
