I am trying to use it and finding errors. I have no lucid lisp or any other, other than the emacs lisp. I have tried to (require 'cl) without error. (1) I have renamed all files in plisp to be .el from .lisp since that is what emacs seems to expect. This gave more success in the next loading command. I have also set the "load-path" variable to include both the compiler and compiler/common-lisp directories. (2) I have tried to load build.el as follows inside emacs: (load "/home/henna/plisp/compiler/build.el") CTRL-x CTRL-e The error I get in minibuffer is: Invalid read syntax: "#" Is there a simple method to solve this? I am looking on comp.lang.postscript/lisp for help on plisp and there is no traffic or conversation on this. You can see the result of renaming: % du -a 3 ./common-lisp/lisp-util.el 3 ./common-lisp/loop.el 2 ./common-lisp/mvalues.el 3 ./common-lisp/numeric.el 3 ./common-lisp/bind.el 3 ./common-lisp/control.el 2 ./common-lisp/for.el 2 ./common-lisp/functional.el 22 ./common-lisp 9 ./defps.el 2 ./flow.el 4 ./macros.el 2 ./names.el 5 ./output.el 1 ./plisp-compile.el 1 ./rename 9 ./top.el 1 ./util.el 6 ./args.el 1 ./build.el 6 ./compile.el 1 ./rename~ 2 ./vars.el 1 ./t~ 2 ./ps-vars.el (3) I loaded the file using the debugging enabled as: (setq debug-on-error t) and I get the following error: Signaling: (invalid-read-syntax "#") eval-buffer(#> nil "output") load-with-code-conversion("/home/henna/plisp/compiler/output.el" "output" nil nil) load("output") eval-buffer(# nil "/home/henna/plisp/compiler/build.el") load-with-code-conversion("/home/henna/plisp/compiler/build.el" "/home/henna/plisp/compiler/build.e$ load("/home/henna/plisp/compiler/build.el") eval((load "/home/henna/plisp/compiler/build.el")) eval-last-sexp(nil) * call-interactively(eval-last-sexp) Thanks henna@techemail.com -=- This message was posted via two or more anonymous remailing services.
