I am new to Lisp and have not seen a GNU Lisp interpreter. I am
running an Ubuntu 8.04 Linux system, dual-booting with Vista when I
must. I would rather have a UNIX-compatible system, but I'll move if
I must. I have Dr. Scheme; can I set its system up to run lisp?
Thanks in advance. It's not for a class, but on my own, to read
Graham's damn book.

Try GNU clisp http://www.gnu.org/software/clisp/
If you want a native compiler, there's GNU Common Lisp, gcl, http://www.gnu.org/software/gcl/
Otherwise, there are good CL implementations that are not licensed
under a GNU license, notably: sbcl, ecl, cmucl, openmcl, etc. Have a look at:
http://www.cliki.net/Common%20Lisp%20implementation
Most free implementations run foremost on unix, but also (if with some
restrictions) on MS-Windows.

Just as a point of order, both ECL and OpenMCL/CCL are under a GNU
license, specifically the LGPL.

The original poster probably meant that it is not GPL, a license that
forces anything linked against the original code to become free. ECL
is LGPL, which allows commercial uses with minor restrictions, such as
forcing any improvement done to ECL to become public and freely
available as source code.

Thanks to all in the community; it 'twere an utterly n00b question,
and you folks went out of your way to help. In some forums I would
have been sent to rtfm, some more, perhaps deservedly. Thanks again,
and if I can help another n00b, I'll remember you 3. I know what the
LGPL is, but many don't, and it's right to remind folks.

It runs the Scheme Lisp dialect.

Which damn book? He has a few damn books... :)

OP says he is a "n00b" so he probably has _ANSI Common Lisp_. I
recommend using clisp. Also, it is easy to get clisp in the Windows
world by installing cygwin.

Is that damn book still in print? His other damn Lisp book is available
on-line, and methinks might be a tad more likely to be damned because of
its greater sophistication.

I dunno. Hackers & Painters was published by O'Reilly, and it's the
closest they've gotten to publishing a Lisp book. So, that seems like
a pretty damned book to me...
And yes, I know that O'Reilly is looking into possibly publishing one,
which is as sure a sign of the Apocalypse as Penguin publishing a
Spillane book.
