Perfect! This means that you successfully compiled the PicoLisp executable. It must be that you have already installed a global PicoLisp from the Ubuntu distribution, so that al that "bootstrapping" stuff is not necessary. Once you have a picolisp running, it is used to build the new one. > pil doesn't work because it expects a > soft link to /usr/bin/picolisp. But ./picolisp works and gives me a REPL. "./picolisp" is not the recommended way. You should be in the installation directory (the one you executed (cd src64; make) from, and then do $ ./pil + or call $ ~/opt/picoLisp/pil + from any place. The point is to call 'pil' either with an absolute (like above) or a relative path (e.g. ../foo/bar/pil +), or with the default path in which case it resolves to /usr/bin/pil typically (i.e. the Ubuntu version in your case). > I'm assuming I'm not finished, right?
