Test 1: I stand in the bergman top directory (as is probable when I just
have read the ReadMe), and want to read install.dock i order to see what
to do:

jocosus[485]module add clisp
    .       .         .
jocosus[489]more scripts/clisp/unix/install.doc
I. Fast start

Try:

mkbergman auto

for an automatic guessing of configuration parameters, or:

mkbergman auto i

for an automatic guessing and an interactive correction
of configuration parameters.

II. Manual installation

The syntax of the installation script is:

mkbergman <clisp-dir> <bergman-root-dir> [<lisp-executable-file-name>] [-old]

Example for the versions of Common Lisp before 09-09-1998:

For example if you have Common Lisp installed in the directory
/usr/local/lang/clisp and unpacked Bergman in the directory 
/home/matte/bergman then you may install Bergman from this directory 
using the following command:

mkbergman /usr/local/lang/clisp/lib/lisp /home/matte/bergman -old

Example for the versions of Common Lisp after 09-09-1998:

For example if you have Common Lisp binary "clisp" installed in the directory
/usr/local/bin and unpacked Bergman in the directory
/home/matte/bergman then you may install Bergman from this directory
using the following command:

mkbergman /usr/local/bin /home/matte/bergman


See the file <bergman-root-dir>/scripts/clisp/install.doc for detailied installa
tion
instructions.
jocosus[490]mkbergman auto
mkbergman: Command not found.
jocosus[491]mkbergman auto i
mkbergman: Command not found.
jocosus[492]which clisp
clisp: Command not found.
jocosus[493]whereis clisp
clisp:

OK, this didn't work.


Test 2: Installing clisp.

I opened a netscape and went to http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/clisp.html.
From there I'm going around, trying to find somewhere to click for a
clisp anonymous ftp.

As yet visited (without finding clickable file fetching) include:
http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/packages-clisp-summary.html
http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/packages-clisp-propaganda.html
http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/packages-clisp-summarresources.html
ftp://ftp2.cons.org/pub/lisp/clisp/
ftp://ftp2.cons.org/pub/lisp/clisp/ANNOUNCE
ftp://ftp2.cons.org/pub/lisp/clisp/README
ftp://ftp2.cons.org/pub/lisp/clisp/source

where at least I find a clickable reference clispsrc.tar.gz.

This seems to take a while, whence I now go to the kitchen.

After a couple of hours, this is down-loaded; but perhaps this
was the wrong file? I try the clisp-1999-07-22.tar.gz instead,
since this seems to be more of a finished product (?).

Test 3: I got the info that there is a clisp installed. I now try
to use the manual script. Also, I found out that there is no
mkbergman in the bergman top directory, so i call the one from
the script:

Test 4: Skipping test 3, I first cd to the <bmroot>/scripts/clisp/unix.
Then I try to find the appropriate arguments to the mkbergman command.
The first one, to the clisp directory: Your install file says
<clisp-dir> but <bergman-root-dir>. There are different ways to
interpret this difference. I choose to guess that you mean the
clisp root directory as well (not the directory where the clisp
actually resides).

The second one: WRITE that it should be an absolute address, and
preferrably a stable one!

The third one: I suppose the [] mean that it is optional. I've
tried to read your clisp/install.doc, but I do not understand
what you mean. However, it seems like the name of the executable
either is clisp, or the clisp file is a hard link to whatever ought
to be the <lisp-executable-file-name>, and you write that then
it "is enough to indicate the path to this file ("clisp")", so
I'll try "clisp" as a third argument.

The clisp is so new that no -old flag could be relevant, I hope.

So here we go:

jocosus[571]./mkbergman ~ver/local/clisp-sparc-linux /usr/local/share/src/matte/bergman "clisp"
Something do not exists: /home/fs1/ver/local/clisp-sparc-linux, or /usr/local/share/src/matte/bergman, or /usr/local/share/src/matte/bergman/clisp

A surprise! Well, I'll have to test them out:

OK, so /usr/local/share/src/matte/bergman/clisp doesn't exist.
But I never claimed it did, did I?

It looks as if arguments 3 and 4 were combined?
