Title: newlisp-gs chokes on Win 7
Post by: dukester on March 26, 2012, 03:21:29 PM
I'm a Linux guy trying to get a Win 7 box to play nice with newlisp-gs. :(



I've searched this forum and found a similar thread, but nothing in there seems to work for me. i=I keep getting this error message:



ERR: no working directory found



Would one of you kind souls please post your relevant settings - before I nuke the partitions on my HDD and install my favorite Debian distro. LOL ...   TIA

Two things:



1.) Make sure that either the MS Windows HOME or USERPROFILE or DOCUMENT_ROOT environment variable is set to your users home directory. The error message is probably caused when trying to start a newLISP shell for the lower monitor portion window in the IDE. The function 'start-newlisp-shell' in newlisp-edit.lsp cannot find a home directory.





2.) Make sure you have either a c:temp directory or set the MS Windows TEMP environment variable if you are using any other directory as temp.
