Package: common-lisp-controller Version: 6.9 Severity: important In my normal shell environment, I tried to use ECL's ASDF to load a package: | twb@rocinante[Desktop]$ ecl -eval "(require 'clx)" -eval "(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :stumpwm)" -eval "(in-package :stumpwm)" | ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/cmp.fas" | ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/sysfun.lsp" | ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/clx.fas" | ; loading system definition from /home/twb/.clc/systems/stumpwm.asd into | ; #<ASDF0 package> | ;;; Loading "/home/twb/.clc/systems/stumpwm.asd" | ; registering #<SYSTEM :STUMPWM 13833776> as STUMPWM | ; $ umask 077 && echo $UID > /tmp/clc-9810 | ; $ rm /tmp/clc-9810 | An error occurred during initialization: | Unable to find out user ID. The above "echo $UID" command is part of the common-lisp-controller source, so I'm filing this bug against it. Exporting UID fixes the problem: | twb@rocinante[Desktop]$ echo $UID | 1000 | twb@rocinante[Desktop]$ export UID | twb@rocinante[Desktop]$ ecl -eval "(require 'clx)" -eval "(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :stumpwm)" -eval "(in-package :stumpwm)" | ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/cmp.fas" | ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/sysfun.lsp" | ;;; Loading #P"/usr/lib/ecl/clx.fas" | ; loading system definition from /home/twb/.clc/systems/stumpwm.asd into | ; #<ASDF0 package> | ;;; Loading "/home/twb/.clc/systems/stumpwm.asd" | ; registering #<SYSTEM :STUMPWM 13833776> as STUMPWM | ; $ umask 077 && echo $UID > /tmp/clc-48910 | ; $ rm /tmp/clc-48910 | ; $ perl -W -e 'use File::stat; use User::pwent; | [BORING STUFF ELIDED] | STUMPWM> For some lisp systems, CLC assumes that UID is set in the process environment. Is this a valid assumption? If so, my sh environment is broken somehow; please close this bug.
