[fomus-devel] Error: NIL is not a number
Hi, I've just set up fomus on cygwin (clisp, cm) but I'm having a little trouble getting it working. I'm just trying the first example in the docs as listed below but I get an error message: "*** - -: NIL is not a number". I know this is a pretty common Lisp error (excuse the unintentional pun!) but I'm not sure where I should be looking to resolve it. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thanks a million, Brian This is the example code: ------------------------- (fomus :output '(:lilypond :view t) :ensemble-type :orchestra :parts (list (make-part :name "Piano" :instr :piano :events (loop for off from 0 to 10 by 1/2 collect (make-note :off off :dur (if (< off 10) 1/2 1) :note (+ 48 (random 25)) :marks (when (<= (random 3) 0) '(:staccato))))))) This is the error message I'm getting (including some initial startup warnings): ------------------------------------------ CM[1]> (load "/usr/local/lisp/fomus/load.lisp") ...

Brian, I made an attempt a while ago to get fomus working in CLISP but didn't quite get all the bugs worked out--so unfortunately it might take a little time to solve this. :( There are a few things that CLISP is picky about that work fine in all the other Lisps. I'll take a look at it and try to get an update out shortly. Brian wrote:

Most of the CLISP issues should be worked out--I haven't tested it in Windows yet (only Linux), so another update might come shortly -David
Moved the project to subversion--(there's no "dev" branch anymore, just the main one, plain and simple) Admin initial checkout would look something like this: mkdir fomus svn checkout svn+ssh://<username>@common-lisp.net/project/fomus/svn/fomus/trunk fomus mkdir fomustest svn checkout svn+ssh://<username>@common-lisp.net/project/fomus/svn/fomustest/trunk fomustest After that if you haven't used subversion before it's very similar to CVS ("SVN update", etc..). Sorry for the confusion--this is what I'll stick to now. "Stable" releases will still be wrapped up in tarballs and deposited on the web site for download.
