This is the first time I have used the debian install package to

install newlisp on ubuntu and for the first time, newlisp does

not know where to find /usr/share/newlisp/init.lsp



Looks like some environment variables got clobbered.

Need help on this too.

thanks

The debian package from newlisp.org has been made and tested on Ubuntu 8.04. I don't know why it would complain. If it doesn't find any /usr/share/newlisp/init.lsp it just should move on. I guess it is some incompatibility with the 7.10 version of Ubuntu? Try: newlisp -n

newlisp -n doesn't help. It's no big deal, I don't have that many

newlisp scripts and it is simply a matter of
(load "/usr/share/newlisp/init.lsp")

to bootstrap everything.

Thanks

Downloaded the tarball and installed from that - didn't take any longer

than to install from the .deb file.



newlisp now recognizes ~/.init.lsp, so the bootstrap is to put

(load "/usr/share/newlisp/init.lsp") in .init.lsp and all is good.
