Title: Installing Lisp on the 5600 (and another q)
Post by: woodsman on May 11, 2004, 08:31:15 pm

I\'m interested in installing CLISP (http://web.njit.edu/~rxt1077/clisp-maxima-zaurus.html) on my 5600 but the directions on that website are rather confusing to me. I\'ve brought the two files into a Lisp directory and terminal into that dir. However, at my attempt to run ./lisp... etc gives me ./lisp.run: Permission denied

 How do I proceed from here? I\'ve skipped the other steps and am not sure if they are necessary if working with the binaries he provides... I realize that the instructions are somewhat straight forward but I have what amounts to no linux experience and any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: Also, I\'ve installed some other packages like python, a game and some others. A few didnt show up on the typical app screens... (mono coming to mind) where do I look for them?

You probably need to:

\'chmod +x list.run\'

To change its permissions so it\'s allowed to be executable.

wrt the other apps, python is command line and I presume mono is too. These two can\'t actually be run afaik - instead they are sort of the support libs which other apps use to run.

first, as lardman said, you need to change permissions on lisp.run to make it executable:

chmod a+x list.run

to run the system, use

./lisp.run -B `pwd` -M maxima-clisp.mem

The characters around pwd are backticks, not single quotes.

This will start clisp, and MAXIMA (a math package) will be running.  To drop down to normal Lisp, use:

to_lisp();

Now, if only I could find a good editor.
