Execution with errors

[wpasieka]

Hello Joao,

I am trying to install Snooze with (ql:quickload :snooze) on the CMUCL, and it catches this error, which I can't figure out how to fix, there is something wrong with the function name.

Could You help me please.

I can't reproduce this. You need to give me more information to reproduce the problem. From the look of it, it looks like a problem completely unrelated to snooze.

Can you state your operating system version, the CMUCL version and how you installed CMUCL/quicklisp?

This is what I get on Debian GNU/Linux buster/sid, with CMUCL installed via ros install cmu-bin.

$ ros run -L cmu-bin
* (ql:quickload :snooze)
<a lot of normal output>
(:SNOOZE)

Thank You Joao for coming back,

When I trying to this again:

I have build CMUCL, the version myself a couple of months ago, and it works fine:

CMU Common Lisp 21c (21C Unicode), running on ai.pressiton.com 77Loaded subsystems: 78 Unicode 1.29 with Unicode version 6.2.0 79 Python 1.1, target Intel x86/sse2 80 CLOS based on Gerd's PCL 2010/03/19 15:19:03 81 ASDF 3.3.0 82 Gray Streams Protocol Support 83 CLX X Library Telent CLX 0.7.3 + CMUCL mods, based on MIT R5.02 84 Motif toolkit and graphical debugger 1.0

I think the problem is with the "c" or % in the function name:

c::%defun '(#:comma with-unique-names-binding-parts)

as I had a similar issues, this version of CMUCL doesn't accept some letters in a function definition, in a very few packages (1 or 2) I had to modify it manually.

And I thought Your were using a different CL version, like the SBCL or CLISP, so this would lead me to thinking that this is "the letters" problems, but You run it on the CMUCL successfully, so I am confused now.

Preferably I don't like to touch someone's else work, because it creates problems with the updates, and development - so If You have any idea how to fix it from Your side , even it runs fine on Your install, this would help a lot.

Maybe these letters (symbols) cause the problem.

Kind Regards, A.

It's not a question of trying again. It's just there is (yet) no evidence whatsoever that the problem you are experience is related to Snooze.

c::%defun is not, that I know, a symbol in Snooze (it's most probably in CMUCL itself). And with-unique-names-binding-parts is also not a symbol in Snooze. Perhaps it's in one of its dependencies? It's impossible to tell.

So, again, you have yet to provide the evidence or the suspicion that links your problem to my software.

And without this, I can't even begin to help you. I am closing this issue until you can provide more information. Once you do, I will reopen.

1. Do you know what a backtrace is? If you do, and you can provide, it would be most helpful.
2. You have still not supplied the name of the operating system you are using.
3. You have still not specified how you loaded CMUCL (i.e. what you did before trying to quickload :snooze.
