Comp/Install/Test newLISP on 64bit Ubuntu 14.04.01

[CaveGuy]

upon discovering the 10.6.0 32 bit newlisp is not happy on a 64 bit system.

I set about googling errors until the following cookbook Install of newLISP 10.6.2 worked clean on several 64bit Ubuntu 64bit 14.04.01 systems.



# Install newLISP 10.6.2 on amd64 ubuntu 14.04.01

sudo su

cd newlisp-10.6.2/
