5x00 General discussions / Installing Lisp on the 5600 (and another q)

« on: May 11, 2004, 08:31:15 pm »

I\'m interested in installing CLISP 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?

5x00 General discussions / Novice SL-5600 development

I just received a 5600 as a gift and was wondering what accessories and packages I should get for it. I\'m primarily interested in lisp and c++ dev, though python, perl and/or java are good, space permitting.

Anyway, with that focus in mind what memory cards, os etc should I look into getting? I\'ve found the many packages available at www.killefiz.de, though I\'m not sure what compatibility is like with the packages developed specifically for the 5500. Also, as most installation instructions are based on the 5500, will I have much trouble figuring them out for the 5600?

I\'m not very familiar with Linux, coming from a Win/.net dev background though I\'m definitely willing to spend the time necessary to understand what I need to. Cheers and thanks in advance. (Hopefully that made sense)
