How to install CMU Lisp (not the common lisp in fedora repo) on Fedora 10?

[premudriy]

Hi everyone,


for my assignment in school I need CMU Lisp installed. It looks like there's a package "clisp," but my teacher told that implementation of common lisp differs slightly from CMU Lisp, so I need CMU Lisp specifically.


I went to CMU Lisp website, but it said that package for Fedora wasn't implemented yet.


I found another RPM package at http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...hp?query=cmucl
How do I know if the above RPM needs any dependencies?


Or maybe someone knows any other clever ways to install CMU Lisp on Fedora? I have F10 64-bit.



Thank you!

yum install cmucl cmucl-extras

Thanks, RupertPupkin, for your reply, but apparently there are no such packages in Fedora repo. I also have RPM Fusion installed and neither one of the packages is available:-(

Should I install some other repository for those two packages?

The CMUCL packages are in the repo indeed.. I can confirm it.

Can you try flusing the YUM cache and try again?
yum clean all
yum install cmucl cmucl-extras

I just cleaned the yum cache => same result, no such packages. Do you think that "yum-fastestmirror" plugin could mess things up? Or maybe it's because I'm using Fedora 64-bit, but I should still see all 32-bit packages, right?

[premudriy]

One of my classmates is also on the same project and he doesn't have these two packages either. He also uses F10 64-bit.

I also uninstalled "yum-fastestmirror" just now. Flushed yum cache again and still can't get those packages.

They're in the F7 i386 repository: http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pu...386/os/Fedora/

You could try installing those RPMs (cmucl-19d-3.fc7.i386.rpm, cmucl-extras-19d-3.fc7.i386.rpm).
Worst case, just grab the source and compile it.

I just called another friend who has Fedora 10 32-bit and he said that he has cmucl in repo. How come my 64-bit Fedora can't find it ?

[premudriy]

Do you think that my repo URL is messed up? Can I just put Fedora 32-bit repo URL temporarily and install from there or will it mess things up?

I beleive there are some in the koji repo for F11 and others in freshrpms.

Personally I'd just install from source - looks easy.

Okay, thanks a lot, guys! I'll go ahead and try to install from source.
