Lisp implementations
+ SBCL
MAC OS 10.7.x 64-bit (x86_64)
- Download 1.0.55 for AMD64 from http://www.sbcl.org/platform-table.html
- Follow the instructions in the INSTALL document to install as root to /usr/local/ (using sudo if necessary).
FEDORA 16 (3.3.x) 64-bit (x86_64)
- Download 1.0.55 for AMD64 from http://www.sbcl.org/platform-table.html
- Follow the instructions in the INSTALL document for install as root to /usr/local/ (using sudo if necessary).
WINDOWS 7 64-bit (x86_64)
- Get windows-sbcl 1.0.55.7 from https://github.com/akovalenko/sbcl-win32-threads/wik (not from the sbcl.org page; there is a link to the akovalenko page from the sbcl.org page.)
- The .msi (rather than the .exe) worked for our tests.
+ Clozure CL (CCL - formerly OpenMCL)
MAC OS 10.7.x 64-bit (x86_64)
- Download the ccl-1.7.dmg, rather than the .tar.gz, since the .dmg provides a pre-built binary .app for both CCL32 and CCL64:
- The binaries run out of the box.
FEDORA 16 (3.3.x) 64-bit (x86_64)
- Download ccl-1.7-linuxx86.tar.gz from ftp://clozure.com/pub/release/1.7/:

Put in the .emacs file for all platforms:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/slime-2012-01-12") ;; un-comment one of these: ;; for SBCL on Linux and MacOS: ;; (setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/local/bin/sbcl") ;; for SBCL on Windows 7: ;; (setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl") ;; for CCL: ;; for Mac ;; (setq inferior-lisp-program "/path/to/dx86cl64") ;; ...or Linux: "/path/to/lx86cl64" ;; ...of Windows 7 "/path/to/wx86cl64.exe" (require 'slime) (slime-setup '(slime-fancy))
