I downloaded and installed this on Ubuntu 5.04, but it refuses to work.

This is great!  I, for one, could not test my systems functionality  
in Linux with the earlier releases of Personal Edition.
With 4.4.6, however, things seem to work great in this regard. At  
least now I have some idea how much work it would require to get  
things up and running also in Linux.

Thank you very much for making this decision.

Regards,

Mika

That solved the problem for me.

I suggest the lispworks people fix this one way or the other for the
next update.
