Description Alexander Kyte 2012-02-07 23:11:57 UTC

The SBCL package installs without error, but doesn't run. The error message is of form:

fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 7278(tid 140737353922304):
can't find core file at /usr/local/lib/sbcl//sbcl.core

my workaround was to make a symbolic link between where the folder where the library actually is and where it should be. More specifically:

ln -s /usr/lib64/sbcl /usr/local/lib/sbcl

I don't know if this will cause me trouble in the future though. The ebuild should do this on its own, for the ease of the user.

Reproducible: Always

no, this needs to be fixed differently as ebuilds are not allowed to touch /usr/local at all

Comment 2 Stelian Ionescu 2012-03-05 11:53:00 UTC

Did you run env-update after compiling ? An env file sets SBCL_HOME which points to /usr/lib/sbcl so you shouldn't see this error
