I've been trying out the new Node.js-based editor, Atom.io. There's a lot to like about it, but the central problem is that it's slowish - it struggles with loading new documents, for example. Perhaps we all spend so much time waiting in web browsers anyway, it's not a problem... :) I also tried it...

Try running guiserver.jar from java

Do you have Java installed? I had no problem with newLISP installer on win 10 (64 bit) a few days ago

This problem sorted itself out somehow. I'm on Ubuntu 16.04. I installed newLISP from the download. After not getting the GuiServer to work, I left things for these few months, & had my newLISP fun on windows. Then, I found a post on how to install Oracle Java on Ubuntu 16.04. I followed that, & the...

I was wrong about one thing: the version. I am on Ubuntu 15.10

NEWLISPDIR does not persist. I set it and restart, and it's not there using printenv or printenv NEWLISPDIR There are a confusing number of totally different posts on askbuntu on how to set it on startup, (~/.profile, ~/.local.rc, ~/.pam_environment, and some files in /etc) all of which I have tried...

Setting NEWLISPDIR does not help:

NEWLISPDIR=/usr/local/share/newlisp
export NEWLISPDIR

is what I do.

The java problem remains.

Thanks for the NEWLISPDIR tip. I will try setting that. However, this java response has dogged me for days: any attempt to call java results in this response in the terminal: The program 'java' can be found in the following packages: * default-jre * gcj-4.9-jre-headless * gcj-5-jre-headless * openjd...

I also installed Scite, replacing lisp.properties with Kazmir's file. Running a one line "Hello World" file named "hello.lsp" returns bash exit code 127 cmd /K "newlisp -c /home/myname/Desktop/hello.lsp" is what is being sent to bash. Can anyone throw any light on why this is happening and newlisp i...

Hi all. With a new installation of Ubuntu 15.04, I installed java (not the jre that comes with ubuntu) from Oracle, as shown in the downloads page. The result is that the java executable is found at /usr/bin/java/jre1.8.0_77/bin/java I then created a link, with sudo ln -s /usr/bin/java/jre1.8.0_77/b...

I tried the changes suggested by xytotron (replacing \026 with \001), without success. It still runs fine directly from newLISP or in Scite, which calls newLISP switched as follows: newlisp -n -c -s 400000 Since it runs fine from newLISP without setting a stack size, I haven't tried to find or fiddl...

After testing, the code works when called from newLISP, so I'm not bothered about IDE problems.

Interesting. Just gets curiouser and curiouser. On my Win 7 Dell at home, ran sxmlhtml.lsp in Scite: it ran perfectly, and produced test.html without a hitch. But newLISP GS editor produced exactly the error found on my Crunchbang 64 bit box.

Much appreciated, thanks xytotron. I very much admire that code. The .lsp file ran straight off in Win 7, but returned ERR: list or string expected : nil called from user defined function page1:pre called from user defined function page1:b called from user defined function page1:p called from user d...

Some time ago, one of the frequent contributors posted some code showing how to do HTML tags. I think it was in a context for each tag. Since bookmarking that, my hard disk died, and some bookmarks with it, though I had copies of all the main stuff. Please can someone point me to this post, or the c...

Thanks, Rickyboy. After a closer look, I did find "libcrypt" files in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu, but I do not have any "libcrypto" files in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu.

What I can say is that /usr/lib, on my 64 bit Crunchbang system, has no files named "librypt" anything at all. I think my biggest problem was that I was editing the wrong file list, ie. inserting the crypto file names into the file list in sqlite3.lsp, instead of the file list in crypto.lsp. Both li...

Late, late into the small hours, everything came right. I can't recall what I did, unfortunately, because on checking what steps I'd written down, it's obvious I left stuff out. But thanks very much for all the pointers. They ring bells, so they are pretty much what I must have discovered along the ...

While trying to use sqlite3 in an app that needs the crypto library, I get a warning "can't find crypto library". On Crunchbang linux, there are a few "crypt" files in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu directory: libcrypt.so, libcrypt.so.1.0.0, libcrypt.a the first is a symlink, as follows: lrwxrwxrwx 1 roo...

Aha! I had tried both Program Files and Program Files (x86), but of course, they BOTH have spaces in them. Will try this just out of curiosity when I get a chance - buried in work for the last week, but will report back.

Sigh. It's quite often the *simple* things I fail to think of first ...

Having got Winger's Scite config going on my Win 7 machine at home, (so, confident that I can still use newLISP in case of more Java problems) I allowed Windows to update my system. That did not affect how newLISP GS worked. Then, I updated Java from java 6 update 31 to the latest, 7 update 21. That...

@rickyboy, sorry, I have confused things somewhat. Ignore my last post: it appeared that last night's had not gone through, and then all of a sudden it appeared, along with your reply to last night's. Thanks

@rickyboy, regret to say, I still haven'rt Emacs going with newLISP on Win 7. I followed your instructions to the letter, even allowing for the renamed newlisp[-mode].el (which I tried with both names). Perhaps it's because my .emacs.d file is on C:\Users\me, but Emacs is in fact installed on C:\. I...

@rickyboy, sorry to say, I still have not got Emacs working with newLISP. Perhaps it's to do with my Emacs being in C:\emacs - how will it be initialised by files in C:\Users\me\.emacs.d? Maybe I should move emacs into C:\User\me\emacs? Then put the .emacs.d file into that, and move likewise the \ne...

@rickyboy, thanks for the advice: I couldn't run into any problems, because this site was under migration to a new server, and I had not copied your emacs instructions yet. Before trying them, I had a go at installing Winger's Scite config, and that worked out okay. So, my immediate problems at work...
