Question about installing LW7.1

I install LW using "stow" on Linux, because I keep multiple versions around for testing ASDF. Stow lets me keep multiple ones lying around in /usr/local/stow, and lays out symbolic links to standard linux paths (e.g., if there's a stow/lispworks-1.0/lib/ directory, it's contents get links from /usr/local/lib/).

When I tried to make my customary console version, I got the following issue:

$ /usr/local/stow/lispworks-7.1/lispworks-7-1-0-x86-linux save-config.lisp 
; Loading text file /usr/local/stow/lispworks-7.1/lib/7-1-0-0/private-patches/load.lisp

Any idea what this would mean and what I should do about it? Are /usr/local/LispWorks/ pathnames hard-coded? Is that what's causing this? Or does LW want a linux library I don't have installed (maybe some piece of GTK2)?

Thanks!

AW: Question about installing LW7.1

Hi,

that’s usually just indicative of a missing GTK+ library… E.g. on Ubuntu it’s usually enough to install libgtk2.0-0 via apt-get install…

Re: Question about installing LW7.1

Thank you very much for the suggestion. It put me on the right track: the version of LW 7.1 I have is 32-bit, replacing one that was 64-bit, and my machine had only the 64-bit GTk libraries. Installing the 32-bit flavor solved my problem.
