• Allegro CL 6.2 runs on Red Hat 8.0 and 9
  [Original version of this item, dated 1/30/2003]
  Red Hat 8.0 was released after Allegro CL 6.2, and our tests confirm that Allegro CL 6.2 works fine on this version of Red Hat Linux. A patch is needed for Red Hat 9.
• The profiler now works on all 64-bit versions of Allegro CL
  [Original version of this item, dated 6/26/2002]
  Various patches have been made for this. We recommend downloading and installing all patches with sys:update-allegro.
• Allegro Common Lisp does work on Solaris 2.9 (aka SunOS 5.9)
  [Original version of this item, dated 7/8/2002]
  Contrary to what the installation guide says, the 32-bit and 64-bit Solaris versions of Allegro CL do work on Solaris 2.9. This operating system was released just before Allegro CL 6.2 was finalized, but we did have time to test it and it appears to work fine.
• [Windows only] Using XEmacs 21.1.13 under Cygwin
  [Original version of this item, dated 7/17/2002]
  To use the supplied XEmacs binary distribution for 21.1.13, which can be found on CD-ROM disc2 in the emacs/windows-binaries/xemacs/ directory, you must install the following optional cygwin (see http://www.cygwin.com) packages, all in the Graphics category:
  • xpm-nox
  • jpeg
  • libpng2
  • tiff
  Without their installation, you will get an error indicating a missing DLL.
