[cl-debian] Bug#330468: sbcl: Can't start sbcl with kernel 2.4.27-2-686
Package: sbcl Version: 1:0.9.4.65-1 Severity: grave Hi ! When I try to launch SBCL, I get the following message: ,---- | fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 10204(tid 16384): | This version of sbcl is compiled with threading support, but your kernel is | too old to support this. Please use a more recent kernel or a version of sbcl | without threading support. `----- ... which I consider a bug since the Debian package installed just fine, and there don't seem to be an alternative sbcl package usable for me. I don't want to use a 2.6 kernel on my machine. So what should I do ?

I fear a debian package cannot depend on a given kernel version.
and there don't seem to be an alternative sbcl package usable for me. I don't want to use a 2.6 kernel on my machine.
Expect a 2.4 sbcl, without threading, in my people.debian.org repositry soon. I expect that the next version of debian will have a 2.6 kernel by default, so this problem should get fixed.

Thanks. BTW, I'm surprised that precompiled 2.4 kernels don't support multi-threading ? -- Didier Verna, didier@lrde.epita.fr, http://www.lrde.epita.fr/~didier EPITA / LRDE, 14-16 rue Voltaire Tel.+33 (1) 44 08 01 85 94276 Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, France Fax.+33 (1) 53 14 59 22 didier@xemacs.org

They do, but in 2.4 threading was done in a completely different way when in 2.6. For the C world this resulted in a move from pthreads to the NPTL library, for sbcl this enabled the use of more complex features. The end effect is that it now only works for a 2.6 kernel, even 2.4 kernel that are patched to allow the use of the NPTL library seem to pose intermittend problems, so I decided it was better to err on the side of caution.
