Agreeed.

Using the Lisp only build, I was able to run the testsuite (minus
rtest14, rtest15, and rtest_gamma) and the share testsuite. With the
GNU Autotools build (./configure, ...), I also had problems with
paths.
This morning, I was able to save an image using (alternative to step
9b in INSTALL.lisp)
(ccl:save-application "unk" :toplevel-function 'cl-user::run)
And I could run Maxima from a command line using
wx86cl -I unk

I used the 32 bit ccl under XP.
How well does Clozure CL do under OSX? Does it run the testsuite and share
testsuite OK?
Is the bug bessel_j(3,2.0) --> 0.0 unique to Clozure using Windows?
I have zero expertise with the GNU Autotools or makefiles; I doubt that I
could fix these
problems, but I could try to locate and fix other bugs with Maxima under
Clozure. Yesterday,
I sent a note the the Clozure list--maybe it will spark some interest in
the Clozure
community.
