Problems installing Caveman 2

Post by MongusPong » Mon Apr 20, 2015 1:56 pm

So I am trying to install caveman 2 http://8arrow.org/caveman/ using :

Code: Select all

 (ql:quickload :caveman2)
But I am getting the error:
The name "TRIVIAL-MIMES" does not designate any package.
[Condition of type SB-KERNEL:SIMPLE-PACKAGE-ERROR]

Restarts:
0: [RETRY] Retry compiling #<CL-SOURCE-FILE "clack" "src" "core" "app" "file">.
1: [ACCEPT] Continue, treating compiling #<CL-SOURCE-FILE "clack" "src" "core" "app" "file"> as having been successful.
2: [ABORT] Give up on "caveman2"
3: [RETRY] Retry SLIME REPL evaluation request.
4: [*ABORT] Return to SLIME's top level.
5: [ABORT] Abort thread (#<THREAD "repl-thread" RUNNING {1005650043}>)
Now I can press 1 to continue and after a load of similar errors it seems to install and I can use caveman to generate a project - however when it comes to running it I get a whole round of similar errors and I can't get it to run.

Now I totally accept that I don't really know what is going on. Is this down to an error with the Trivial-Mimes project and I need to report a bug to the maintainer or have I (most likely) just done something dumb that I need to fix?

Thanks

Ok, have just tried installing on an Ubuntu Docker image and it works straight up without any errors at all.

I had problems with both Caveman and Ningle on both OSX and Windows, but on Linux it just works fine.

Do Common Lisp devs tend to use Linux?
