Does "dpkg-buildpackage" on my source package makes the Ubuntu binary well? If so, we can try to share the responsibility. In this case I'll try to submit newlisp into a Debian.
How do you use dpkg-buildpackage ? The man pages for it weren't enough for me. I've downloaded your source package and extracted it - where now? as I'm new to building a deb. (suggest where to find goods docs on doing it if explanation isn't appropriate here)
I tried the 9.0.16 etch binary deb on Ubuntu but it won't install as it wants readline >=5.2 while ubuntu 6.10 has 5.1-7 as standard.

January 08, 2007, 06:06:33 AMI am happy to coordinate advocacy of newlisp for Ubuntu inclusion - I would see the steps as
1.get dpkg-buildpackage doing Ubuntu packages - checkinstall works well but may not be able to provide all the expected ubuntu details
2. put a newlisp section into the
3. liaise with/help any Ubuntu MOTU (defined at
If newlisp was also progressed toward debian inclusion and got into debian first then moving it across to Ubuntu would follow.
I'll look at dpkg-buildpackage and fakeroot on Ubuntu and report back (anyone else wanting to do that feel free to also try )

January 05, 2007, 10:31:33 PMI looked at the process for package inclusion in Ubuntu discussed here
I'll be running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and latest stable (eg 6.10 currently) Desktops on Intel 32bit platforms so I can test or build. To approach Member status for a developer requires a significant involvement (2 months+ of demonstrated contributions) which is beyond me at this time so advocacy of newlisp to Ubuntu packagers with offer of as much help to them as possible from the newlisp community seems to be the way to go.

November 05, 2006, 04:31:47 PM(define-macro (test )
(let ((s (map (lambda (x) (list (sym x) (eval x))) (args))))
(append s (list (list 'sum (apply '+ (map (lambda (x) (x 1)) s)))))))
Line 2 gathers the arguments into an assoc list
Line 3 sums the second elements and sticks it on the end
the local variable s is used so arguments are only evaluated once
so
> (setq a 1)
1
> (setq b 2)
2
> (setq c 3)
3
> (test a b c)
((a 1) (b 2) (c 3) (sum 6))

PS to keep the original intent of strings in the list use name:
(define-macro (test )
(let ((s (map (lambda (x) (list (name x) (eval x))) (args))))
(append s (list (list "sum" (apply '+ (map (lambda (x) (x 1)) s)))))))
gives
> (test a b c)
(("a" 1) ("b" 2) ("c" 3) ("sum" 6))

August 08, 2006, 04:30:02 PMFirefox 1.5 handles it OK
problem area is
a href="#string">string</a>
can be used to insure correct data types and avoid error messages.</p>
<p>The format string has the following general format:</p>
<span class='plus1'>"%w.pf"</span>
<p>The percent <tt>%</tt> sign starts a format specification. To display a
percent sign <tt>%</tt> inside a format string double it: <tt>%%</tt></p>
<span class="plus1">w</span>
<p>Width of field. Data is right aligned, else whe...
I don't know anything about span class to suggest a fix. Trying "plus1" and plus1 (no quotes) doesn't help.

March 26, 2006, 08:42:27 PMI had my lsp file in a path with spaces (using winXP) so when I tried to run I think the spaces interrupted the file path as passed by:
" Execute current newLisp file - command: Run
function! NewlispRun()
!newlisp %
endfunction
command! -complete=function Run :call NewlispRun()

March 07, 2006, 07:44:08 PMI see scrolling is mentioned in errors.
Is something causing scrolling of newlisp-tk window while it's trying to set up?
Perhaps a character set or default font size issue. Less likely but maybe worth considering is 32/64 bit issue (but I run newlisp fine with standard winXP on 64 bit capable pentium) - is it a 64 bit winXP?. What CPU and char set are you running with? What is Windows locale? Screen resolution/color depth setting?

March 06, 2006, 05:34:15 PM1) another install of tk/tcl is getting in the way?
2) check contents of config file. Newlisp-tk manual says:
"The file newlisp-tk.config can be found in the startup directory of newlisp-tk.exe. If no newlisp-tk.config is found, newLISP-tk will start using default values for all configuration parameters. A newlisp-tk.config file can be generated by selecting Options/Save Settings from the main console menu.
Two different ports are used for TCLTKport and newLISPport but newLISPhost and TCLTKhost should have the same IP address, normally 127.0.0.1, when running the GUI front-end and the newlisp executable on the same computer. After an unsuccessful startup use the Windows Task Manager to make sure that none of the processes newlisp-tk.exe and newlisp.exe has been left running. After a failed start attempt remove those processes and start over again executing newlisp-tk.exe.
"
Regarding another IDE I've used Vim with bracket matching and lisp syntax highlighting to edit newlisp files, save them (you can leave vim open on the file, it doesn't lock it), then run newlisp in a console window for testing - not very integrated I'll grant but usable. I used it to test running newlisp instances on an openmosix setup where having a link to newlisp-tk didn't make sense anyway. I've not tried setting up for running newlisp as a tool from vim but maybe a better Vim'er could help you there.
Nigel
PS <edit>
Openmosix testing was under linux but the using vim that way also works in windows.
for your reference
My newlisp-tk.config is:

March 06, 2006, 12:57:58 PM1.Check that newlisp itself can be started from the commandline
eg open console box, cd to directory, newlisp.exe and check it starts.
2.check no newlisp is already running before newlisp-tk is started
I'll try to think about how to check sockets.
