5.3 Installing LispWorks for x86/x64 Solaris

5.3.1 Main installation and patches

5.3.2 Installing over previous versions

You can install LispWorks 8.0 in the same location as LispWorks 7.1 or previous versions.

5.3.3 Information for Beta testers

Users of LispWorks 8.0 Beta should completely uninstall it (including any patches added to the beta installation) before installing LispWorks 8.0.

See 5.8 Uninstalling LispWorks for x86/x64 Solaris for instructions.

5.3.4 Installation directories

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-8-0-0-amd64-solaris.
