As clisp only fails on a few architectures (sparcs and powerpc) I think I'm justified in downgrading the bug. After debconf (and my .mx trip) I will investigate the sigsegv. In the mean time could you tell me: - what version of clisp this is - does $ /usr/bin/clisp -norc -M /usr/lib/clisp/full/lispinit-orig.mem work? - if not, what does running it under gdb give: $ gdb /usr/bin/clisp ...
