New subject: [armedbear-devel] compilation successfull, but launch fails with the infamous "Failed to find loadable system file 'autoloads' in boot classpath."

9 Nov 2010


      Hi!
I tried to compile abcl-0.22.0 on gentoo x86-64 with SBCL 1.0.19-gentoo
and /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.22/.  It looks like it went well, but I get
"Failed to find loadable system file 'autoloads' in boot classpath."
when trying to launch abcl.  I could find some pages with this
diagnostic on the web, but no comment or solution.
