5.3.1 Main installation and patches

The LispWorks 7.1 installer contains each of the Editions. Additionally, there may be a patch installer which upgrades LispWorks to version 7.1.x. You need to complete the main installation before adding patches.

5.3.2 Information for Beta testers

Users of LispWorks 7.1 Beta should completely uninstall it (including any patches added to the beta installation) before installing LispWorks 7.1.

See Uninstalling LispWorks for x86/x64 Solaris for instructions.

5.3.3 Installation directories

32-bit LispWorks is installed by default in /opt/LispWorks/lib/LispWorks and a symbolic link to the executable is placed in /opt/LispWorks/bin/lispworks-7-1-0-x86-solaris.

64-bit LispWorks is installed by default in /opt/LispWorks/lib/amd64/LispWorks and a symbolic link to the executable is placed in /opt/LispWorks/bin/lispworks-7-1-0-amd64-solaris.

LispWorks Personal Edition is installed by default in /opt/LispWorks/lib/LispWorksPersonal and a symbolic link to the executable is placed in /opt/LispWorks/bin/lispworks-personal-7-1-0-x86-solaris.

Note: LispWorks needs to be able find its library at run time and therefore the LispWorks installation should not be moved around piecemeal. If you simply want to run LispWorks from somewhere more convenient, then consider adding a symbolic link.
