problem with new CMUCL and ILISP

   A while back, Nicolas Neuss posted a bug trying to make a new CMUCL
   run with the CVS ILISP.  In particular, this is CMUCL post-18e CVS
   2003-08-15, and I downloaded ILISP today (24 Nov 2003).  I'm getting
   exactly the same error Nicolas described (see
   http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3281533&forum_id=5778),
   although for Nicolas, the problem eventually seemed to go away on its
   own, and for me it's not.

   Any ideas or suggestions?

   Cheers,

Sorry; I didn't see the original post, though I'm not sure why.
Probably trying to read too fast.

   Anyway, I had what appears to be the same problem with ilisp CVS and
the CMUCL November snapshot, and I think the solution was to blow away
all of the *.x86f files before starting cmucl under ilisp, then do M-x
ilisp-compile-inits.  If that doesn't work, try invoking CMUCL from a
shell and compiling the relevant files manually (ilisp-pkg.lisp,
cl-ilisp.lisp, cmulisp.lisp, and find-src.lisp, in that order), loading
the new binary after each compile.

   One of these solutions worked with CMUCL, and the other worked with
SBCL 0.8.4, but I'm afraid I don't remember which was which.
