Good day.

Is there any application by wich it can be possible to develop Lisp solutions in Mac OS X?

--->>> Thank you very much

I imagine gcl would not be that hard to get up and running. Personally I am a schemer, I brought up scm without too much difficulty.

Well there's Allegro CL (http://www.franz.com). Of course, it's far from free...

CLisp has a CLI version for Darwin, and it works very well (free). http://clisp.cons.org/

Also, there is a free OpenMCL though it started little late.
This site is currently down for some reason, but will be on soon.
This works on Darwin and Linuxppc. http://www.clozure.com/

If you think about a commercial one, go for MCL. We will have OS X native version at this autumn. People says the MCL is the best Lisp tool. Current version 4.3.1 works in Classic mode. You can download a trial version. http://www.digitool.com/

I DO_NOT recommend to use ACL (allegro from Franz) in OS X yet.
They advertises that they have OS X version, but doesn't offer any trial version for it.

Hope this help your searching.

There's also EMACS..

Well.. people don't recommend elisp which built-in emacs cos its not a standard. Also, gcl seems out of date now.

Woo, I like Scheme myself.

There's a GUI frontend to scheme48 called macScheme48 out there (by josha@cs.nwu.edu)

And a LISP by Greg Chaitin (called lisp).

True there is no trial version of ACL for OS X. I emailed the company that makes it (Franz) and was able to obtain a time-limited copy because I'm a student and it seems to run fine -- I haven't noticed any differences between the OS X version and the Solaris and Windows versions others are using.

whoah! I didn't know that they offer a time-limited version.
That's a good info.

Ummmm.... different people has a different taste.
I am sure that scheme is very nice one.
but....
MCL (Macintosh Common Lisp) has powerful editor called 'fred',
and also has an interface builder,
and I can run a quicktime movie in the lisp window,
also I can implement OpenGL in the lisp window.
Just FYI.

Haha... yeah they seem to, but it may only be because I'm a Berkeley student and they're located in Berkeley... worth a shot though. I think if enough people ask them about it they would probably offer an OS X trial version.

Has anyone gotten CLisp to compile on os x? I broke it up into the individual make's (as per the INSTALL file) to find where it's going wrong and it's breaking on "make lisp.run"
The errors I get are many but it starts off like:
gcc -W -Wswitch -Wcomment -Wpointer-arith -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -fomit-frame-pointer -Wno-sign-compare -O2 -DUNICODE -c eval.c

Any ideas?

I haven't tried yet cos there is a binary file that you can install directly.
Wonder why are you trying to compile it...
Sorry.. not much helpful.
