More information about SBCL is available at. This is SBCL 1.5.6, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp. Now, the example of how to invoke SBCL from the terminal (using rlwrap): Source and installation instructions are available at Before you try the example below, I suggest installing the readline wrapper rlwrap, a small utility that uses the GNU readline library to allow the editing of keyboard input for any command. Alternatively, you can invoke SBCL from your terminal window. If you want to call SBCL from the terminal: In Step 2 above, we invoked SBCL from inside Emacs. ( let ((quicklisp-init (merge-pathnames 'quicklisp/setup.lisp' The following lines added by ql:add-to-init-file: To avoid having to load quicklisp and rutils every time you open SLIME, I suggest you add the following code to your ~/.sbclrc: Type the following commands at the REPL:ĬL-USER> (named-readtables:in-readtable rutils-readtable) RUTILS “that aims to radically simplify the Lisp programmer’s life both in the REPL and in large system development” (from their website at ). Next, we will use Quicklisp to load the Radical Utilities (RUTILS) tools. Here is what happens when I enter the lisp expression (* 4 3) at the REPL and press Enter: This is the prompt where you can type and evaluate Lisp expressions. Below is what you will see in this new buffer Emacs will open Slime/Lisp’s REPL on a newīuffer window. Minibuffer window at the bottom your Emacs window. This will prompt you to type commands on Emacs’s REPL prompt, evaluates the expression, and prints the value.
