newlisp 10.0 does not recognize /usr/share/newlisp/init.lsp

This is the first time I have used the debian install package to
install newlisp on ubuntu and for the first time, newlisp does
not know where to find /usr/share/newlisp/init.lsp

Looks like some environment variables got clobbered.
Need help on this too.
thanks
tim

The debian package from newlisp.org has been made and tested on Ubuntu 8.04. I don't know why it would complain. If it doesn't find any /usr/share/newlisp/init.lsp it just should move on. I guess it is some incompatibility with the 7.10 version of Ubuntu? Try: newlisp -n

newlisp -n doesn't help. It's no big deal, I don't have that many
newlisp scripts and it is simply a matter of

Code: Select all

(load "/usr/share/newlisp/init.lsp")

to bootstrap everything.
Thanks

Downloaded the tarball and installed from that - didn't take any longer
than to install from the .deb file.

newlisp now recognizes ~/.init.lsp, so the bootstrap is to put
(load "/usr/share/newlisp/init.lsp") in .init.lsp and all is good.
cheers
