Created attachment 59254 [details] The last few lines from an attempt to make clisp with X on an Alpha. I've noticed this problem, too, with my Alpha EV5.

However, it appears that the compilation problem is with the immaturity of new-clx. CLISP does compile --with-module=clx/mit-clx. I haven't yet found whether it actually works. new-clx seems to be fast and new (started in 1995) and written in C. It's advertised as having all sorts of new features, but the small print says it doesn't implement all the old features yet. Still. As near as I can tell, mit-clx is old and unmaintained. Reputedly, it doesn't like things like displays other than 0 on a machine (e.g. no SSH forwarding). Also, it didn't work when I tried to run things like the CLX demo programs. [1]> (load "hello.lisp") ;; Loading file hello.lisp ... *** - EXPOSURE-EVENT-GET-MACRO: symbol GET-CODE has no value Break 1 XLIB[2]> So, X probably doesn't work on non-x86 at the moment.
well, clisp definitely doesn't build on amd64 unless you override the 'X' use flag in /etc/portage/package.use. Is this something to echo to upstream, or is it something that will be fixed in our tree?
assuming fixed in current version...
