LispWorks Personal on FreeBSD 7-STABLE

I have installed LispWorks 5.1 on FreeBSD 7-STABLE, after installing
the `misc/compat5x' and `x11-toolkits/open-motif' (open-motif-2.2.3_5)
ports.  The LW executable is able to find these libraries, but I am
unable to run it.  The `COMPAT_FREEBSD5' option is enabled in the
kernel.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA,
Raghavendra.

Thank you very much.

Just to report that the procedure described above works.  The only
thing is that `libX11.so.6' in the package `compatXm-6.3_1' requires
the library `librpcsvc.so.3' [see session transcript below], which is
provided by the port `misc/compat6x'.  So the installation sequence
on FreeBSD 7 seems to be:

1. Ensure that the kernel options `COMPAT_FREEBSD5' and
   `COMPAT_FREEBSD6' are on.

2. Install the ports `misc/compat5x' and `misc/compat6x'.

3. Install the package `compatXm-6.3_1.tgz'.

4. Install the package `lispworks-personal-5.1.tgz'.

Perhaps a note on this in [Release Notes and Installation Guide,
Chapter 5], or in the above KB article, would be useful.

Thanks again,
Raghavendra.

One minor problem is that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting is passed down
to all child processes of `lispworks-personal-5-1-1-x86-freebsd'.  For
instance, whenever a browser is invoked from a `Help' menu item in
LispWorks, it tries to load the `compatX11' libraries instead of the
system libraries, and fails.  It isn't much of a problem, because I
can use a browser from outside LispWorks to view the manuals.
However, I'd appreciate suggestions for a solution.

Raghavendra.

A shell wrapper for the browser does the job:

% echo ${path}
/opt/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/sbin /home/raghu/bin

% cat /opt/bin/firefox
#!/bin/sh
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
exec /usr/local/bin/linux-firefox "$@"

With that my LW installation seems to be fully working.

Raghavendra.
