Common Lisp; Paradigms of AI Programming examples not working

0
votes

I got Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming because I've read tons of good reviews about it, but every example have errors, I tried using SBCL and Lispworks on windows 7.

For example, I'm trying to write a scheme interpreter, this file has undefined functions, this file has undefined operators, and this file, there's something wrong with REQUIRE.

Google didn't help, it seems that I'm the only guy having these errors. The book is really amazing but I'm dying to see a working code. would you please copy/paste and see if it works for you? Is it only me who has these kind of errors?

Should i try a Clisp or something? Should i contact the author asking him to correct his code? but he is a director at google now, he won't reply to a stupid guy like me, therefore i'm coming here for help, you can't find lisp experts everywhere

"Google didn't help, it seems that I'm the only guy having these errors" - that should be a clue... - Mitch Wheat
When i say none of the examples work, i really mean it, try the othello game for example, but i'm trying to follow the scheme example - Lynob
@MitchWheat if that's the case, please try to compile the scheme example, if it works fine, i'll delete the question right now - Lynob

Your problem is that you are treating each file as a stand-alone system. They are not independent, but build on each other.

You need to follow the instructions in the README file you link to instead of loading the individual files.
