Yay ! Problem Solved. The problem (drum rolls please): The Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt doesn't like spaces in its pathname, in other words C:/Program Files/ = baddbadbadbad :o :o :o Just download ecl again (do this, because files have been added to your directory if you've already compiled whi...

I'm using microsoft visual studio on windows vista 32 bit. I'm following the instructions on the ecl manual which include saying nmake, then nmake -install If there's anything extra i need to do to build this fas file, i didn't do it. It's also not building any of the contribution files included. Ma...

I'm trying to load the asdf which comes with ecl in the contrib folder. At the very end, it has a modification which has the code (require 'cmp). However, I can't seem to find the cmp.lsp file anywhere within the distribution. I tried commenting out this line and loading, but when attempting to test...

I am trying to get asdf:run-shell-command to work on sbcl 1.0.28 in windows vista 32 bit. Looking at the asdf code, this is effectively what it calls and the error produced: (sb-ext:run-program "sh" (list "-c" "notepad.exe") :input nil :output nil) --> Couldn't fork pro...

For anyone who is familiar, does anyone know if there are any good general partial evaluation libraries available. I only know of one,

but would like to keep my options open.
Thx

Oh well. Thx!

I don't necessarily need it, but it would simplify things if i could specialize a method parameter on a keywords in general (not just one type), distinguishing them from regular symbols. I've looked on google, but couldn't find anything. When i try (defmethod test ((a keyword))) or (defmethod test (...

Thx! That worked perfectly.
