Bug Description

Binary package hint: sbcl

In AMD64 Dapper, SBCL is not compiled with threads enabled. I got the source package, and it looks like the condition on line 33 of debian/rules doesn't correctly match on this platform. I commented out that ifeq statement and the corresponding else statement, and threads were enabled when I rebuilt the package.

Is this corrected in Edgy?

I can't get slime and sbcl working and I suspect it has to do with threads in AMD64. It works, otherwise, with clisp.

I will try to rebuild from source, as mentioned above.

I'm not sure if the SBCL package from Edgy replaced the one I compiled when I upgraded or not, so I can't answer for sure. If threads are enabled in your version, (find :sb-thread *features*) will return :sb-thread.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

It does not seem to be fixed in the 1.0.11.0-1 package. This is a serious problem, because it prevents SBCL from being used with SLIME, the most popular LISP development environment. I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed since I provided a solution almost two years ago.
