Torsten,
Perhaps I need to clarify a bit the problem I encountered: I ran the script install.sh on a machine without any predefined Fomus and the build process failed for both sbcl and cmucl with a similar error.
I checked out svn after your changes, David. This script still ends in the Lisp debugger with pretty much the same error -- but now without any compilation before. And yes, there has been no ~/.fomus on my machine yet. Nevertheless, I also tried the script with an empty ~/.fomus which showed the same behaviour.
If there's no compilation, this tells me that nothing changed when you updated (it's just loading the old .fasl files instead of compiling new ones) and otherwise it's just doing the same thing, but I can't know for sure. I just need more information--I can see the Lisp can't read some file, but I don't know which one it is. Could you cut+paste the entire output, from when you type the ./install.sh command to where it breaks? Also use SBCL and please include a backtrace (type "backtrace" at the debug prompt in SBCL), I at least need to know which file is the problem file. If the backtrace shows you a filename, could you also e-mail me that file?
Also, unzip the attached fomus_dbg file and use this, to be absolutely sure you have the same code I have. This will help me a lot. Sorry for the inconvenience, I just can't replicate the error.
Also, SBCL 0.8.16 is a bit older than the current release (0.9.16 last time I looked), and I think CMUCL might have bumped up a version or two since 2004--the current version is 19c--this could be an issue.
Thanks, David
