I think I know what the problem is. It may be that the wrong 'pil' is
executed, because there is another one in /bin, which is
intended for the global installation.

You need to install /pil, e.g.

   $ cd 
   $ ./pil +

(the '+' at the end is recommended, to get into debug mode).

You can run it from any place, e.g. with an absolute path

   $ /path/to/my/installation/pil +

or with a relative path

   $ ../../installation/pil +

or whatever.

No, keeping both is fine. I do the same.

You can have as many installations on the system as you like. You simply
select one of they by calling it with either non-specified path
(global), or absolute or relative path (locals).

Installation issues

2015-02-06 Thread Lawrence Bottorff
Hello,

I've gotten the latest picolisp, 3.1.9, and am trying to install locally.
Following the instructions for 64-bit on my linux, I've built the
executable picolisp all right. But the bin directory's pil seems to pick up
the previous version I installed before from Ubuntu:

../bin/> ./pil
: (version)
3.1.7.3
-> (3 1 7 3)

 However the pil in the .../picolisp/ main directory does work, giving
../picolisp/> ./pil
: (version)
3.1.9.0
-> (3 1 9 0)

Why does the pil in .../bin/ behave this way? I'd like both, but I guess I
could uninstall one of them. . .
