Hi!

I am presently using the very nice CLISP implementatino of CommonLisp
on my Linux box. Thanks a lot to Bruno Haible, Michael Stoll and Marcus
Daniels. 

But, since I would like to start doing some numerical calculations in lisp,
I realized that clisp is much to slow for me. GCL runs some of my
time-critical functions much faster. BUT: It would be great to have CLOS
support and the gcl-1.0 binaries on sunsite and in karlsruhe don't have pcl
in them. I tried to recompie gcl versions 1.0 and 1.1 on my linux box, but
it didn't work. Version 1.1 produced a "saved_glc" wich wasn't a valid
executable, 1.0 even fails to produce "gcl_raw". 

If someone could help me getting gcl + pcl to run under linux, this would 
be really great!

On the other hand, I heard roumors that CMU CL was really in for numerical
applications. Is someone working on a Linux port? I could only find SunOS
and HPUX executables.

Thanks a lot,

Aki
