set up help

hey all, i was hoping you could help me get set up with weblocks. I
can't seem to get it running.

I'm on arch linux with emacs 24.0.96.1 and sbcl 1.0.56.

I installed weblocks using quicklisp

> (ql:quickload 'weblocks)

and attempt to start weblocks with

> (weblocks:start-weblocks)

Hunchentoot starts, but I get the error message "Resource /weblocks-
demo/ not found."

I also tried creating my own webapp with

> (wop:make-app 'new-test-app "~/projects/")
> (push #P"/home/gabeos/projects/new-test-app/" asdf:*central-registry*)
> (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :new-test-app)
> (new-test-app:start-new-test-app)

but I get the same message.

Any thoughts or direction? I'd really appreciate it, I'm looking
forward to working with this framework.

Thanks!
Gabe

Re: set up help

Search for all weblocks related packages with:

(ql:system-apropos "weblocks")

That will give you a list of all weblocks related packages.  You will
want to install the demo packages so that you can play with them.

However, the error that you are getting would not be related to you
'not' having the demo app installed, unless you are not telling us the
whole story and something is messed up.

I am too noob to suggest a solution except to delete weblocks from
/quicklisp and reinstall to get a fresh setup.  Next, install the
demos and try to get them running so you can see an app production.

Then you can create your own app and go from there.  Please note that
quicklisp has a ~/quicklisp/local-projects dir.  If you create your
applications there like you did with wop:, you will be able to use ql
to load up your application in the future.

I hope that helps.

Re: set up help

Thanks! I followed your suggestion and re-installed. Initially I had
the same trouble, but got it working by loading and starting the
weblocks-demo package explicitly. I guess I'm not sure if this would
have worked before the re-installation. Probably, and I was just a bit
slow last night.

Anyway, thanks for the tip on quicklisp as well, that's a nice little
bit of knowledge :)

You are most welcome.  I am having fun learning Lisp, hope you keep up
with it and Weblocks.
