I'd like to practice some Lisp with CGI on Dreamhost. Is it possible
to get a Lisp with CGI running on Dreamhost?

I've managed to install SBCL and CLISP in my dreamhost account, but
have not tried to do CGI yet.  Would appreciate any details of your
success/failure.

I haven't done any kind of Lisp compilation at all and I am quite new
to Lisp, so I would like to know what changes in the make files, and
other compiler settings are needed to get into compile? Do you have a
make configuration for them?


Getting CGI to work is not difficult in Dreamhost it simply means
creating the right .htaccess with pointers to your Lisp CGI. There is
an article here, http://cybertiggyr.com/lc/  which shows how to get
CGI running in your account.
wiki.dreamhost.com/CGI covers the basics. In principle any program
that can receive CGI parameters should be able to work.

I don't know about the Lisp part of CGI, but once the bash example is
working, it is only a matter of changing the settings to switch to
your Lisp system.

There is http://www.cliki.net/lisp-cgi-utils I'd like to try out if I
can install it.

I have 1.0.20.  As I recall, I found a distro that was preconfigured
without multithread support, for this very reason.  I'm a bit fuzzy on
the details at this date, unfortunately.  I suppose I can make that
one available.  I see now that this is out of date SBCL-wise, so maybe
I'll try to replicate my build with a newer SBCL first.

another option would be to place your compiled sbcl on a publicly
accessible dreamhost account. this lisp hacker would thank you for
that.

Anyone with Gentoo can make up such a package.  Anyone spending a few
moments adjusting the 'customizing' file can get one from their
installed sbcl (which is all Gentoo does behind the curtain).

Is the customizing file part of Gentoo or SBCL?
