While narrowing down the problems I was having with maven and cffi, I

across the maven-embedded.lisp file (

) where I saw the sys:run-program.
I now have ABCL installed on both Linux and Windows, and have problems on both when issuing
#+windows(sys:run-program "where.exe" nil) #+linux(sys:run-program "which" nil)
On Windows, the first call fails, while the second succeeds. On Linux,
the
call fails, and repeated calls also fail.
Is this just me or can anyone else reproduce this? Thanks.

I think we need to fix SYS:RUN-PROGAM under Windows, file this as an active bug in Trac, and release abcl-1.4.1. Alternatively you could try building ABCL from source (there's a [Dockerfile][] which will do it for ya, but you need to understand Docker Engine a bit to interact with it.
More when I get the time…
When I get time I will try to build ABCL from source using the instructions on the web site. From what I read, all I need to install is SDK and Ant.
Also, note that in the original email I wrote that I had an error on Linux as well with Run Program.
For now, run-program bug is not a show-stopper for me on Windows. Instead it is the stack overflows when loading libraries from Slime (which I posted on the Slime group). In the meantime, I will do software development on ABCL on Linux.
