Hello, I was reading the book Practical Common Lisp and wanted to use the same setup to follow along. Actually that might not be necessary as there are other tutorials on Lisp, so I just need, Emacs, SLIME, which I guess this is what provides the REPL, (it also had QuickLisp library manager - not sure how that is used yet) and the Clozure Common Lisp compiler. I tried a yum on anything with lisp in the name and didn't find anything. Perhaps I need a new repo. Anyway, I downloaded the Linux version of Lisp-in-a-box from user webadmin. So, it put it in the webadmin/downloads directory. I just noticed that the errors only show up if I run it from the bash shell. It says that some directories do not exist, specifically, /tmp/lispbox-0.7/emacs-23.2/libexec/emacs/23.2/x86-64-unknown-linux-gnu So, maybe I either need a desktop, or I develop on a different system and if I want to create web apps, I need to install lisp to run on the server. Can anyone offer some advice, please? I am wanting to install WebProtege, which is a Semantic Web Ontology modeling application that runs as a web app using Java. And I want to run another Java based application that runs not as a server app but a desktop app. So, somehow I need to give shell scripts or other apps the ability to create directories, such as tmp directories that are needed. Maybe that isn't an issue if you double click on the icon. Thanks in advance for any help and advice, Bruce
