I just installed newLISP v.10.6.0 for UBUNTU on i386 UTF-8 enabled in Lubuntu running in VMware on a win7 box.
Zero joy!! It wont start! I have NEWLISPDIR set, and the software is where it's supposed to be!!
Any ideas as to what is causing this WTF moment? lol ... TIA

I had a problem some months ago trying it on an oldish ubuntu, which turned out to be something with libffi or libreadline. I believe I ended up compiling my own newlisp on that host.

Thanks for the input Ralph!! My version of Lubuntu is the most recent, so there should have been zero problems - a person would have thought. :/
I suppose I could compile from source! The Win7 version installed with zero problems. I'll try re-installing the .deb package and see how it goes the 2nd time. I'm hoping that Lutz fixes this issue or at least puts up a warning that there are issues!! Thanks again!!

May be your UBUNTU installation is 64-bit and newLISP 1.60 on UBUNTU requires 32-bit OS libraries. You could try to install the development version newLISP 1.61, which starts delivering newLISP as a 64-bit app on UBUNTU.
What is the error message you are getting?
