Installation failed for PCL on Sun-3/50... (long)

[leavens@bambam.cs.iastate.edu (Gary Leavens)]

Hi,
	I'm not sure who is responsible for this problem, but I can't install
PCL using AKCL version 1.478 on a Sun-3/50 running Unix 4.2, Release 3.5.
I have replaced the "kcl-low.lisp" file in the PCL distribution with
the same-named file from rascal.ics.utexas.edu.  That file compiled okay,
but the problem is that the "fin.lisp" file now has an error, since it is
referencing the macro %cclosure-env.  This error has the following trace:

-------------------------------------------------
(load "defsys.lisp")
(setq pcl::*pathname-extensions* '("lisp" . "o"))
;(setq pcl::*pcl-directory* (truename "./"))
(or (probe-file "kcl-patches.lisp-")  ;replace kcl-patches.lisp by empty file
    (system "mv kcl-patches.lisp kcl-patches.lisp- ; echo > kcl-patches.lisp"))
(pcl::compile-pcl)

Changes in version 1-455 definitely require recompilation of user files.

	I installed a "fix" for this error, which was to use the old
definition of %cclosure-env from the PCL-standard file "kcl-low.lisp"
file.  This seemed to work, but now I get a different, although perhaps
related error, as shown by the following trace.

	I made usre that the stacksize on Unix was as large as can be.
But this doesn't help.

	Any ideas?
