Problems with CVS version



Hi Jame Villate san,

I encountered similar trouble when I tried clisp 2.38.  Mine was this:

*** - invalid byte #xE5 in CHARSET:ASCII conversion
The following restarts are available:
ABORT          :R1      ABORT
Break 1 [2]>

Actually, this happens whenever I invoke clisp 2.38.

Somewhere on the Internet were there a workaround for my issue,
which is to create an empty file named .clisprc in your home  
directory by:
% cd ~ ; touch .clisprc

The issue then disappeared for my case. I hope this works for you,  
too...
