+ "R Alemi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: | does any one know why, or how can we reference user's home directory | in arguments to run-program?
Expansion of ~ or $HOME is usually done by the shell. Since ext:run-program does not invoke the shell, those are not expanded. You could try (namestring (probe-file "home:some-file")). Things get trickier if the file does not exist and you still want a name. This should work: (ext:enumerate-search-list (pathname "home:asdf") (return pathname)) See the cmucl user manual for the meaning of this. - Harald
