RE: Matlisp on ACLv6 works here :)

Hello!

Found what was wrong -- pretty trivial: (user::current-directory) was
correct, but *default-pathname-defaults* was pointing one directory higher.
After setting *default-pathname-defaults* to (user::current-directory)
Matlisp (the version Tunc referred to in the message quoted below) compiled
and loaded, seemingly as expected.

Is it true that I am one of the first Matlisp-users on windows?  In that
case I will be glad to send you a transcript of the compilation.  There are
lots of messages that may be more meaningful to you than they are currently
to me :)

Tried some things (multiplication and SVD), which appeared to work as
expected.  So, my problem is over.

OTOH, I understand it is a lot of work to make Matlisp and keep it working,
so if you need a bit of help from my side, just say so & I'll see what I can
do.  I plan to make a system that uses large non-sparse matrices, which
relies heavily on the SVD.

Again, I hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards,

Ernst

PS  Totally off-topic, but very curious where the name Tunc Simsek
originates from:)

   "Hi again.
   "
   "Two point here.
   "
   "First, Ernst,  I insist that you infact not loading
   "the distribution from the link I sent you.
   "I just checked and f77-mangling.lisp exists in
   "the right place.  I think you're trying to load
   "the distribution you got from matlisp.sourceforge.net.
   "My suspicions were first arised when I say matlisp-1.0b
   "in the command line in your dribble.
   "Please try just one more time.  Make sure to get
   "the zip file from
   "
   "http://robotics.eecs.berkeley.edu/~simsek/matlisp-allegro-v6.2.zip
   "
   "Then unzip it to say c:/  (this will create a directory
   "called c:/matlisp).  Then, from within allegro, do:
   "
   ":cd c:/matlisp
   ":ld start
   "
   "
   "The second point.  Ray.  You're right.  On unix you
   "need to run configure.  To avoid that, I manually configured
   "for windows and produced the f77-mangling.lisp from the
   "f77-mangling.lisp.in
   "file.  It exists in the link I gave above.
   "
   "Thanks again,
   "Tunc
