Eek.  Wow.  That was a little overkill.  Another time, you can try the
following:  

1.  get the ilisp source files from sourceforge (ask if you need more
instructions);

2.  put them in some sub-directory in your homedir

3.  add this sub-directory to your load path.  E.g.:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/smith/ilisp")

That will shadow the built in ones, and give you the ones from
sourceforge instead.

Do the following before loading the library:

1.  M-x set-variable <ret> debug-on-error <ret> t 

2.  Do as before

3.  If you get a crash, you should see a new window with a backtrace
in it.  Cut the backtrace out into an email message and send it to
ilisp-help.  With that information we might be able to do better.

Hope that helps,
R


P.S. I'm late in coming to this discussion, so if you've done that
already, I don't know it.
