Oh man - you need thread support and GTK to do "testing some AI

I have other projects.

I assume you know these "minor" implementations named AllegroCL and
LispWorks?

I meant free (as in freedom, not "gratis") implementations.

You wouldn't have the "problems" given in your examples if you used
these ...

Meanwhile I enjoy Allegro CL and Lispworks in their Free editions here
and even get the best quality support you ever could want.

It's what you have choosen. Not of mine.


Oh - and yes, I am on OS X Intel here.

But, hey, it's your decision.

That's right.

And I thought I get to see something
substantial.

And please, do not enter into the classical and boring discussion
about free vs commercial software. There are other reasons because I
dropped off OSX from my computer.
