1.2 Local Distribution of CMU Common Lisp

In CMU CS, CMU Common Lisp should be runnable as `/usr/local/bin/cmucl'. The full binary distribution should appear under `/usr/local/lib/cmucl/'. Note that the first time you run Lisp, it will take AFS several minutes to copy the image into its local cache. Subsequent starts will be much faster.

Or, you can run directly out of the AFS release area (which may be necessary on SunOS machines). Put this in your `.login' shell script:

setenv CMUCLLIB "/afs/cs/misc/cmucl/@sys/beta/lib"
setenv PATH $PATH:/afs/cs/misc/cmucl/@sys/beta/bin

If you also set MANPATH or MPATH (depending on the Unix) to point to `/usr/local/lib/cmucl/man/', then `man cmucl' will give an introduction to CMU CL and `man lisp' will describe command line options. For installation notes, see the `README' file in the release area.

See `/usr/local/lib/cmucl/doc' for release notes and documentation. Hardcopy documentation is available in the document room. Documentation supplements may be available for recent additions: see the `README' file.

Send bug reports and questions to `cmucl-bugs@cs.cmu.edu'. If you send a bug report to `gripe' or `help', they will just forward it to this mailing list.
