The LispWorks distribution is also provided as
tar
files compressed using
gzip
for use if you do not have an appropriate version of RPM to unpack the RPM binary file. The gzipped files for 32-bit LispWorks are as follows:
Note: The gzipped files for LispWorks Personal Edition and LispWorks (64-bit) Enterprise Edition have similar names.
cd
to change directory to the location of the tar files before running the installation script.
lwl-install.sh
(or
lwlper-install.sh
for the Personal Edition).
This script takes
--prefix
and
--excludedocs
arguments like
rpm
to control the installation directory and amount of documentation installed.
For example, to install the 32-bit Professional Edition in
/usr/lispworks
, without documentation, from a CD-ROM mounted on
/mnt/cdrom1
you would use:
cd /mnt/cdrom1/x86-linux
sh lwl-install.sh --excludedocs --prefix /usr/lispworks
Note: the default location under
/usr/local
is appropriate for this unmanaged (non-RPM) installation.
