Because the version of clisp on quiche was more than a year old, I
updated it to the current version (Sept 27, 1993 release). For future
reference, this is a very simple procedure:
1. Obtain the binary tar file from this site:
HOST: ma2s2.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de
FILE: /pub/lisp/clisp/binaries/linux/clisp-english.tar.z
2. Remove the contents of /usr/local/lib/lisp or move the directory out
of the way.
3. cd into /usr/local/lib/lisp and untar clisp-english.tar.z file.
4. Install the man page from that directory.
Those doing the SIPB Athena Linux stuff should do what is necessary to
make sure people get a recent version of this. There have been many bug
fixes in the past year, and the current distribution contains a native
CLOS implementation which is much faster than using PCL. (Although you
can compile and use PCL if you prefer.)
