OK this should be fixed now in cvs version 2.6.8pre and cvs head.

Thanks for the report!

About %TMP% and %TEMP% in Windows,

"Those environment variables have existed by
default in every version of Windows since 95.
Environment variables can be renamed or deleted,
so you should still check to make sure it has a
valid value before using it."

Dunno about MacOS X, although since it's BSD,
I'm guessing /tmp or something.

Greetings!

Does the TMP environment variable make sense on Windows and MacosX?

Take care,

COMPILE may lead to failed attempt to write gazonk0.lsp. Apparently GCL writes an intermediate file when COMPILE is called. I don't know what the heuristic is for assigning the temporary file directory, but apparently it is fallible and there is no fallback measure if it fails.

E.g. GCL 2.6.7 / Linux:

cd /
(not writeable by ordinary user)
gcl

> (defun f (x) (* x x))
> (compile 'f)


Error in LET [or a callee]: Cannot create the file gazonk0.lsp.
