I tried opensuse 10.3 and noticed that gcl was not in its yast
repository, but cmucl is. You might try that.
I think the command is
yast2 install cmucl
or something like that.
I haven't given up on Suse completely yet, since I just bought a Lenovo
Thinkpad t61 and they will ship it with Suse Enterprise installed.
(Mine was bought with Win XP Pro, but there are now supported drivers
for all the hardware in Suse). If I ever get gcl compiled with Suse,
I'll let you know.
The fact that there are many fewer programs in the Suse repository is
why I went back to Fedora. Almost all of what I need is in the Fedora
yum repositories, especially all of the lisps I use for maxima.
