newlisp-gs chokes on Win 7

Post by dukester »

I'm a Linux guy trying to get a Win 7 box to play nice with newlisp-gs. :(

I've searched this forum and found a similar thread, but nothing in there seems to work for me. i=I keep getting this error message:

ERR: no working directory found

Would one of you kind souls please post your relevant settings - before I nuke the partitions on my HDD and install my favorite Debian distro. LOL ... TIA

Two things:

1.) Make sure that either the MS Windows HOME or USERPROFILE or DOCUMENT_ROOT environment variable is set to your users home directory. The error message is probably caused when trying to start a newLISP shell for the lower monitor portion window in the IDE. The function 'start-newlisp-shell' in newlisp-edit.lsp cannot find a home directory.


2.) Make sure you have either a c:\temp directory or set the MS Windows TEMP environment variable if you are using any other directory as temp.
