Clisp on Centos 7

Post by piratebenners » 2014/07/21 18:46:14

I am having trouble installing clisp by source and I cannot find it in the Centos 7 repos. Where should I be looking?

Code: Select all

You may find it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clisp/f ... t/download
And try building it from source ^_^

Building from source is extremely rarely the correct answer.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

My dear Sir,

I must disagree with the statement that compiling from source is a bad idea. In the case of clisp compiling the program is easy after carefully reading the instructions. The readline library is essential plus one other library mentioned in the source. I also compiled the old xlispstat from source without any problem. However the binary sbcl works very well. After clisp has been install you can compile Maxima. Als gp-pari compiles easily.

I have also compiled Audacity and VLC, this takes more time.

By the way the binaries are all install in /usr/local/......
