Hi,

I am trying Mariano's approach below, and run into a problem while loading McClim.
It looks like the package XLIB cannot be found, while loading the image package.
Does anyone have an idea of how to proceed?

Thanks for your help,
Bruce

Hi,
 
As a casual user of CLIM I find the most frustrating problem is just downloading all the proper pieces and placing them where they can be used.  If someone would take the time to create a pdf of step by step instructions on where to go, what to download, and the required destinations it would be most helpful.  I know some things like this exist but many seem out of date and don’t really work that well.
 
I currently use SBCL on a Fedora 12 machine.

Bill,
       in my case using Quicklisp works with no problems. I'm on an Ubuntu Machine and SBCL.

First install quicklisp, if you haven't already: http://www.quicklisp.org.

Then evaluate:

(ql:quickload :mcclim)

For better looking fonts, evaluate:

(ql:quickload :mcclim-truetype)

To run the examples:

(ql:quickload :clim-examples) and then:
(clim-demo::demodemo)

Cheers,

Mariano
