Any recommendations for a free Lisp compiler/IDE ??

Re: Lisp compiler/IDE

Assuming Common Lisp since this is a CL subforum: good free compilers are SBCL and CCL, and the most commonly used IDE is Emacs with slime.

A Light Lisp IDE

I recommend ABLE. I like it for its simplicity. I think it's the closest to a Lisp based Lisp editor (that's not Emacs) that I know of. From the website: "Version 0.20 was compatible with CCL, SBCL and CLISP." I've run into some problems with the GUI backend and Windows though.

Yes. LTK has had a few issues on MSWin. This thread discusses a couple fixes; they are available in http://ltk.rplay.net/svn/branches/ltk/repl

What other issues have you seen?

I'm using Eclipse and SBCL with the CUSP plugin. Works really well. I like the built in support for ADSF.
