Re: Any ilisp rpm files?

There's only one problem with your suggestion. I don't
know how to use xemacs yet. Like I said in my very
first post, I am trying to get xemacs and cmucl set up
so I can use them to learn common lisp and xemacs.
Also, it should be clear by my lengths that I have
gone through that ilisp is not included in the
mandrake rpms. I really do not understand the
resistance to having ilisp rpms available for
download. They are by far the easiest way to get ilisp
installed into Mandrake and Red Hat systems. Why make
people jusmp through unnecessary hoops when from this
obvious example it's apparent that a good deal of the
hoop-jumping ends with ilisp uninstalled on the target
system and much time for both the person trying to
set-up their system and the person who is trying to
help them wasted.

I've now been trying to get CMUCL environment working
with an editor for more than a month. Three weeks of
hoop jumping with all the various combinations of
CMUCL compiler files ended with a 5 minute .rpm
installation. Trying to get ilisp working has now
stretched out more than a week with an answer no
closer. This is not an efficient use of time. Creating
the rpms would take one of you very little time, and
would take me a couple of minutes to get installed.
Instead, I'm still sitting here with no way to use
xemacs and CMUCL together.
