I have been trying to get Elephant up and running for a few days with
little luck. I have tried CMUCL and SBCL, with different unsuccessful
outcomes. During my latest attempt on SBCL, I seem to be able to call
the following two lines without errors:
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :elephant)
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :ele-bdb)
I then run the tests...
(asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :elephant-tests)
(in-package :ele-tests)
(setf *default-spec* "bdb")
(do-backend-tests)
do-backend-tests returns NIL.. which I interpret to be success?
however, I am unable to open a store according to the instructions in
the two tutorials on the common-lisp.net project site. Here is an
example attempt:
* (open-store "store")
debugger invoked on a SIMPLE-ERROR in thread
#<THREAD "initial thread" {A7B93E1}>:
The assertion (CONSP ELEPHANT::SPEC) failed.
Type HELP for debugger help, or (SB-EXT:QUIT) to exit from SBCL.
restarts (invokable by number or by possibly-abbreviated name):
0: [CONTINUE] Retry assertion.
1: [ABORT ] Exit debugger, returning to top level.
(SB-KERNEL:ASSERT-ERROR (CONSP ELEPHANT::SPEC) NIL NIL)
0] backtrace
0: (SB-KERNEL:ASSERT-ERROR (CONSP ELEPHANT::SPEC) NIL NIL)
1: (OPEN-STORE "store" :RECOVER NIL :RECOVER-FATAL NIL :THREAD T)
2: (SB-INT:EVAL-IN-LEXENV (OPEN-STORE "store") #<NULL-LEXENV>)
3: (SB-EXT:INTERACTIVE-EVAL (OPEN-STORE "store"))
4: (SB-IMPL::REPL-FUN NIL)
5: ((LAMBDA ()))
6: ((LAMBDA ()))
7: (SB-IMPL::%WITH-REBOUND-IO-SYNTAX #<CLOSURE (LAMBDA #) {A7F28FD}>)
8: (SB-IMPL::TOPLEVEL-REPL NIL)
9: (SB-IMPL::TOPLEVEL-INIT)
10: ((LABELS SB-IMPL::RESTART-LISP))
I would appreciate any help in getting elephant up and running. I am
running SBCL 0.9.8, ubuntu dapper, and bdb 4.3 (apt-installable
version). I will gladly supply more information to help determine the
error of my ways. I can't wait to try out elephant!
Thanks sincerely,
red daly
