I finally could test this. Here my installation experience with the latest
stable release of CLisp... 2.48 (as of July 28th).

    wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/clisp/latest/clisp-2.48.tar.gz
    tar -xvzf clisp-2.48.tar.gz
    cd clisp-2.48

Installed a few libraries on which CLISP relies:

  * Installed libffcall

    mkdir tools; cd tools
    wget http://www.haible.de/bruno/gnu/ffcall-1.10.tar.gz
    tar xfz ffcall-1.10.tar.gz
    cd ffcall-1.10
    ./configure
    make
    make check
    sudo make install
    cd ../..

  * Installed libsigsegv

    cd tools; prefix=`pwd`/i686-pc-linux-gnu
    wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libsigsegv/libsigsegv-2.6.tar.gz
    tar xfz libsigsegv-2.6.tar.gz
    cd libsigsegv-2.6
    ./configure --prefix=${prefix} && make && make check && make install
    cd ../..
    rm -f src/config.cache

Compiled CLisp with new-CLX support:

    ./configure --with-libsigsegv-prefix=${prefix} --with-module="clx/new-clx"
    cd src
    vi config.lisp
    ulimit -s 16384  # increase default stack size
    make

Error!!

    make: *** [clx/new-clx] Error 1

Compiled, then, CLisp with mit-CLX support:

    ./configure --with-libsigsegv-prefix=${prefix} --with-module="clx/mit-clx"
    cd src
    vi config.lisp
    ulimit -s 16384  # increase default stack size
    make
    make check
    sudo make install
    cd ../..

Installed CL-PPCRE from Ubuntu's package manager:

    sudo aptitude install cl-ppcre

Installed StumpWM:

    git clone git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/stumpwm.git
    cd stumpwm
    autoconf

    sudo apt-get install texinfo

    ./configure --with-lisp=clisp 
--with-ppcre=/usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-ppcre
    sudo make

Error!

    *** - EVAL: undefined function XLIB::%GCONTEXT-KEY->MASK

    The following functions were used but not defined:
     XLIB::%GCONTEXT-KEY->MASK STUMPWM::UNCOLORIFY STUMPWM::LOAD-RC-FILE
     STUMPWM::RUN-WITH-TIMER STUMPWM::TIMER-P STUMPWM::CANCEL-TIMER
    0 errors, 3 warnings
    make: *** [stumpwm] Error 1

New compilation (even without sudo):

    make

This second make command works... What a weird thing...

Still, StumpWM seems usable... Am writing this article from within
Emacs/StumpWM. Though -- is this related or not? -- I experience big
slownesses with Emacs. I can type normally for about 15 seconds, then it
blocks for 4 seconds, on and on...

Same thing with the time displayed in my modeline. It should be updated every
second. It only is every minute, sometimes.

Any idea?

Seb
