What am I doing wrong

I have a simple example readin function

(defun read-setup (thefile)
(with-open-file (stream thefile)
    (loop for line = (read stream nil 'end)
          until (eq line 'end)           
          do (print (list (coerce line 'integer)
                            )     
              )     
     )
)
)

That just reads in some integers into a file, Im pretty sure it works, because it was an example in a e-book I have for lisp.

Im using clisp in ubuntu and I using the clisp -c Test.lisp and it says "compiled with 0 warnings and errors"
and it makes a Test.fas file. so I use ./Test.fas (after giving +x permissions)
and then it gives me the error
./Test.fas: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `|'
./Test.fas: line 1: `(|SYSTEM|::|VERSION| '(20060802.))'

.....What am I doing wrong? im almost certain the code is right but i've never ran a lisp program before? It compiled with 0 errors and 0 warnings? So whats going on.....how do i run such a simple test code (btw I have a file called thefile)

Sorry for such a newbish question but this is my first time?

The .fas-File is a file containing code that can be loaded quickly - though, it is no executable. To execute it, use clisp -i <fas-file>. To really get an executable, you must load your file and generate an executable memory dump: http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes.html#image

Using

(defun read-setup (thefile)
(with-open-file (stream thefile)
    (loop for line = (read stream nil 'end)
          until (eq line 'end)           
          do (print (list (coerce line 'integer)
                            )     
              )     
     )
)
)
(ext:saveinitmem "Test.mem" :executable T
	:init-function
	#'(lambda () (read-setup (car EXT:*ARGS*))))
(quit)

and loading the file with clisp -i (not -c) should do the job.

This is where you're going wrong. You must know some languages that like wasting your time by making you batch compile your program into an executable every time you just want to test a function, but since you're using Lisp you don't have to do this any more. Just type "clisp" to start up CLISP, and you'll land at a REPL where you can use the load function to load your code, then call your read-setup function. A transcript would look something like this:

%clisp               
  i i i i i i i       ooooo    o        ooooooo   ooooo   ooooo
  I I I I I I I      8     8   8           8     8     o  8    8
  I  \ `+' /  I      8         8           8     8        8    8
   \  `-+-'  /       8         8           8      ooooo   8oooo
    `-__|__-'        8         8           8           8  8
        |            8     o   8           8     o     8  8
  ------+------       ooooo    8oooooo  ooo8ooo   ooooo   8

After you change the code, you can load the file again, or copy/paste the new defun directly into the REPL. CLISP has a comparatively usable REPL, with command-line editing and history, so it's not as painful as using some Lisps directly from the REPL would be. You'll have a more pleasant time all round if you set up SLIME, which will let you send new defuns to your lisp with a hotkey, among many other things.

I think what's happening is that your shell is trying to interpret Text.fas, which obviously isn't a bash script or whatever. That file is just a cache for CLISP's use, so when you load the source file it's derived from you won't have to recompile.

You can also run it as a script using SBCL

Thanks alot everyone. I got the example code to work!
