17.5.16 should be optimal.

Probably you started pil32 first as it was built by make in src/

Anyway, good that it works now :)

Yes, it is 64 bit.

This is strange. I did the same thing for the one I downloaded which 
identifies itself as 17.5.16.


I entered the src directory and did make. I then went to the src64 
directory and did make. I did this for both 16.12 and the 17.5.16.


I thought I was using the 64bit version. I don't know why it didn't work 
the first time but did the second.


Let me know if I am doing something wrong.

Thanks.

Jimmie

This is because Vip needs a newer version of PicoLisp.

While this is true, the error "symbols -- Undefined" rather indicates that you
tried Vip on the 32-bit version of PicoLisp. However, Vip runs only on the
64-bit version ;)

Is your hardware 64-bit? If so, take a look at doc64/README ...

Thanks, that solved the problem.

I had installed the 16.12 version.

Again thanks.

Hi Jimmie,

welcome to this list! :)


Hello, I have successfully installed PicoLisp in my ~/Dev/PicoLisp
directory.
I have also made the symlinks for a global install in XUbuntu 17.04.

Great!



I have also made the symlinks for libncurses.

I have also installed Vip so that I can learn it along with PicoLisp.
However, I am having problems running it.

I get this error:

jimmie@squirrel:~/Dev/PicoLisp$ ./vip
[./vip:4] !? (symbols 'vip 'pico)
symbols -- Undefined

This is because Vip needs a newer version of PicoLisp. I recommend you download
and build https://software-lab.de/picoLisp.tgz, which is the rolling release,
instead of some older version. If you simply overwrite your local installation
you don't need to redo the symlinks.
