I ftp'ed the CLISP files from ma2s2.mathematik.uni-karlsruhe.de a few
weeks ago, followed the installation instructions in the README, and
now have CLISP running fine on my linux box. I am running 0.96c pl2
and gcc 2.2.2; I think that if you are running gcc 2.2.2d you need a
patch (actually source for a required C function absent from the
library) that was posted here by Bruno Haible (one of the authors)
a couple weeks ago.
