Indeed, we think this maybe an Endian issue. If I look to the datatypes in (sys-info), then it appears that the first elements are of type 'long' and 'size_t', each of which is 8 bytes. These are shown correctly. cell = stuffIntegerList( 8, cellCount, MAX_CELL_COUNT, symbolCount, (UINT)recursionCoun...

You can have access to my machine, I'll send the details tonight by PM.

Hm, I cannot import 64-bit libraries anymore with this last compilation: newLISP v.9.2.17 on Linux, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info. > (import "libgtk-server.so" "gtk") problem loading library in function import : "libgtk-server.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" This used to work with the plain 'm...

Later I saw your remark: makefile_linux64 is the same as makefile_linux64ILP32 The 'makefile_linux64ILP32' does not work: peter@AsteroidRider:~/installation/newlisp-9.2.17$ make -f makefile_linux64ILP32 make: *** No rule to make target `makefile_linux64LP32', needed by `newlisp.o'.

Ooops sorry, I see there is some info about the newLisp dir in the 9.2.16 manual now :-)

Maybe it is also usefull to explain clearly what this variable can be used for (e.g. location of 'guiserver.lsp')....?

Thanks for replying,

Peter

Hi, If I set the variable NEWLISPDIR manually in a DOS prompt, newLisp does not seem to get the new value. Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.

Works perfect!

This way all *nix OS's should be able to run the guiserver as the context now relies on the official environment variable $JAVA_HOME.

Thanks again,

Peter

Hi Lutz,

This is stil not changed in 9.2.12...???

Thanks
Peter

On second thought, the concept of wrapping around a list is still interesting. Though currently not implemented at all, it still could serve a lot of problematic situations. In fact, each time when elements in a list need to be repeated, it will save a lot of code. Right now, a check must be created...

OK now I see. There is no wrapping around in the first place and there has never been. Negative indices just start counting at the end. This has the appearance of wrapping around a list. Hm... in that case, for me it does not matter, as returning nil or the first element will not resolve my programm...

By the way, how is this possible: peter[~]$ newlisp newLISP v.9.2.11 on Linux, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info. > (set 'L '("1" "2" "3")) ("1" "2" "3") > (nth -5 L) "1" > (nth -4 L) "1" > (nth -3 L) "1" > (set 'example '("a" "b" "c" "d" "e")) ("a" "b" "c" "d" "e") > (nth 0 example) "a" > (nth -1 ...

Actually I'ld rather have a wrap-around behaviour, similar when index couting backwards in a list.

Like this:

> (set 'example '("a" "b" "c" "d" "e"))
("a" "b" "c" "d" "e")
>
> (length example)
5
> (nth 4 example)
"e"
> (nth 5 example)
"a"
> (nth 6 example)
"b"
> (nth 7 example)
"c"

I think newLISP is unique in returning the last element for indices greater than the length of the list. Unique but not consistent. :-) Of course newLisp is the best programming language on earth, but I am still curious why this decision was made. If an index is counting backwards it wraps around a...

Michael!

Thanks for your quick reply!

But... How do these languages handle positive indexes?? I mean indexes higher than the amount of elements in a list?

Hi, Here I am again with an annoying question :-) First a nice quote. peter[~]$ newlisp newLISP v.9.2.11 on Linux, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info. > (set 'example '("a" "b" "c" "d" "e")) ("a" "b" "c" "d" "e") > > (length example) 5 > (nth 4 example) "e" > (nth 5 example) "e" > (nth 6 example) "e...

many systems have multiple java's running.. ;-)

So?

newLisp will then at least use a Java binary, the first Java binary it finds. If this isn't working, it's a system setup issue.

Right now the guiserver.lsp context does not find anything....

The 'which' can always be used as a last resort...

Maybe use an (exec "which java")....?

peter[gtk-server-2.2.2]$ newlisp
newLISP v.9.2.11 on Linux, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.

> (exec "which java")
("/usr/lib/java/bin/java")

Hi, After upgrading my Linux system(s) to a newer release, the GUIserver did not run anymore. After some troubleshooting it appears that the file '/usr/share/newlisp/guiserver.lsp' looks for a Java binary in '/usr/bin'. However, on Slackware-like systems (also Zenwalk) the java binary resides in '/u...

Well our company did take over all CB systems, also the Oga ;-)

I have to send you a bill for using newLisp in Tru64Unix ;-)

Well, those are convincing arguments... :-) This latest release is running as a dream: [peter@olga]# make ./build Discovered Tru64 Unix, please read doc/TRU64BUILD cc -ieee -pedantic -c -O3 -DSOLARIS -DTRU64 -DNEWLISP64 -D_POSIX_PII_SOCKET newlisp.c cc -ieee -pedantic -c -O3 -DSOLARIS -DTRU64 -DNEWL...

Maybe you have to also change it for Linux, please check the manpage for 'alloca'...

See my post above, I just changed it.

Thx
