Note: In order to use Motif (and the graphical debugger) with X servers from
non-OSF vendors (like Sun) you may need to set the environment variable
XKEYSYMDB to point to the file lib/XKeySymDB. Otherwise, you will get many
error messages every time a new connection is opened to the CMU CL motifd.
This file is read by the X11R5 Xt in order to augment the keysym database with
certain OSF vendor keysyms that Motif wants to use. If you get errors about
being unable to start the Motif server, try setting DISPLAY to the full
hostname, like:
lisp-rt1.slisp.cs.cmu.edu:0
and delete any .motif-socket-* files in /tmp.
Installation example (assuming the distribution files are in the cwd):
% mkdir cmucl
% cd cmucl
% zcat ../17c-sunos.tar.Z | tar xf -
% zcat ../17c-extra-sunos.tar.Z | tar xf -
% cd lib
% setenv CMUCLLIB `pwd`
% setenv XKEYSYMDB `pwd`
% cd ../bin
% setenv PATH $PATH":"`pwd`
Now you can run the basic Lisp:
