Hi, I've been reading about Lisp on and off and have been playing
around with Emacs Lisp. But I'd like to start learning it more
generally so that it'd be applicable outside of Emacs.
I've seen that SBCL is a popular version of CL and integrates with
Emacs (in terms of an IDE) - would this be a good way to start? I'm
running OS X and doing sudo apt-get install sbcl doesn't seem to find
anything. Are there prepackaged versions of SBCL available anywhere?
Pointers would be appreciated,
Rajarshi

For Mac, install MacPorts and then do
'sudo port install sbcl +threads'
- you'll get a fairly recent version.
For good integration with Emacs, you'll also need SLIME.
You may also look at clbuild, which nicely packages a number of
modules and make it easy to update/recompile them.
Regards,
Victor.

Aquamacs comes with SLIME pre-installed. Then you can have any lisp
that runs on the Mac installed where you want.

try:

i don't bother using the OS specific methods of installing lisp
software .. i've found it much easier to deal with and maintain lisp
software "manually" in my home folder
here is how i get up and running with the very basics:

..not sure if it is the "best way" or anything though .. or if it will
work for you (only tried it on linux)

You might also want to look at OpenMCL/Clozure. I'm very happy with
OpenMCL on OSX (I think it only supports 64bit CPUs on intel though.)
