CLISP doesn't work on Solaris either and I've no FreeBSD nor the spare time to figure out how to get it to work. The only Lisp which works is CCL but when I tried to build SBCL with it, the build failed spectacularly. I then went to use CCL but all the getopts examples are for SBCL and since I'm still learning Lisp I couldn't figure out how to make them work on CCL. So I'm busted. Post scriptum: it's been around six months since I've opened those bug reports for i86pc and sparc and there are still no new releases: http://www.sbcl.org/platform-table.html http://www.sbcl.org/platform-table.html I wouldn't have written what I have about SBCL and dismal support for Solaris if I hadn't tried to build, debug, package and research it and research throughly I did. As a professional engineer, the first thing I did was read all the documentation and all the INSTALL instructions I could find as well as any other documentation and bug reports I could locate using multiple search engines; the official documentation is very poor for such a big and serious project and in my opinion as an engineer, not very professional at all, especially when compared to corporate documentation efforts. This creates an additional hurdle for someone looking to master Lisp and do so using SBCL. Pity the two intense weeks of my spare time; what a waste of my life since I'm none the smarter or more knowledgeable for it.
