Hi, thank's for putting up a new version, but it misserably FTBFS on my box, a Linux/PPC :-/ Here's the relevant excerpt from the build log: .. hrmm - looks like the build wants to build a multi-threaded sbcl, something that isn't currently availble on Linux/PPC. Looking at the debian/rules file everything _should_ build ak (the conditional adding of sb-threads to features did work during all previous builds). Maybe it's because the new maintainer included the file 'customize-target-features.lisp' into the source distribution ... :-)

Well if all bugreports are so good this could be easier then I thought :-).

I've uploaded a -2 to the NEW queue and to people.debian.org

Sorry, i _hate_ to do this, but there comes another error report: hobbes:/LISP/DEBS# dpkg -i sbcl-common_0.8.20.5-2_all.deb sbcl_0.8.20.5-2_powerpc.deb (Reading database ... 236445 files and directories currently installed.)

The problem manifests in the (autogenerated) scripts ....postinst.debhelper. Hmm, how did this escape the allmighty build daemons? HTH RalfD Oh, one more tip (frustrating experience for me): building with SBCL 0.8.19.22 i needed to 'export LANG=en_US.UTF-8', otherwise the build would fail .... Maybe this could be checked for in the build script.

Thanks, Peter
