When I tried to run regexp-coach under FreeBSD (with Linux compatibility 
enabled) I happened upon the following strange error:

Error: Could not register handle for external module #:CAP:
  libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
20957C18 20207EDC -> 20207E02 = #:DEB

20957E10 20186EFA -> 20186E92 = (#:SYM 4732)

Then I did:
ante at Upheaval$ locate libXm.so.3
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.so.3
ante at Upheaval$

So, after trussing the image I realize that it's doing some very odd 
stuff.

How about distributing this as source instead? Or can someone produce a 
FreeBSD version of this program for me?

You seem to be using a version of OpenMotif that's binary-incompatible
with Regex Coach.  Or, even more likely, Regex Coach is searching for
the library below /compat/linux.

Maybe these links will help:

(Note that Regex Coach was built with the 4.3 version of the LispWorks
compiler but some of the 4.1/4.2 entries might still apply.)

I have no plans to do that.

There is no version of the LispWorks compiler for FreeBSD.

I'll check thos links and see if I find some help there.

You wouldn't mind expanding a bit upon that position? I could probably 
have solved this problme myself in 10 minutes if I had the source, and 
contributed code to make your program even better.

And, you mean, it's not possible to build without one? Why?

Reading about which versions of lesstif and openmotif which worked 
proved enlightening.

FreeBSD users are adviced to install the linux-openmotif-2.2.4_1 port.

Probably not.  The way OpenMotif is found is hard-coded into CAPI and
can't be changed even if you have the source code to Regex Coach.

So, you're an experienced Common Lisp hacker?

> And, you mean, it's not possible to build without one? Why?

Because it relies on CAPI for the GUI part.

Without the GUI it's not much more than my CL-PPCRE library which is
already available in source form.  There are several free Common Lisp
compilers available for FreeBSD so you can hack it as much as you
like.

Cheers,
Edi.

It would be great if one day some rather adventurous soul, say, ported
the CL-PPCRE code to run under a JVM hosted common lisp (e.g.
http://www.cliki.net/Armed%20Bear%20Lisp) and ported the GUI to IBM's
attractive SWT gui...

Of course that adventurous soul might want to get their fingers on your
CAPI based GUI, and you may have reasons for not distributing it?

wishful thinking.

Greg

PS. thanks for regex-coach!

OK, so maybe I misunderstood you. It almost sounded like you had 
philosophical grounds for not sharing the source. Now I understand that 
isn't the case.

If you could share it with someone who might want to port it from motif 
to some other graphics systems, I wouldn't weep. Motif might work, but 
it sure aint pretty.

Anyway, keep lisping.

CL-PPCRE purports to be portable Common Lisp, so if it doesn't run on
ABCL then that's probably because ABCL isn't fully ANSI-compliant yet.
Otherwise that's a bug in CL-PPCRE which should be reported.  (In
other words: There should be no need to "port" CL-PPCRE.)

If someone had plans to do this I'd be glad to help.

Look closely at the screenshot you sent and you'll see the line

  "Match from 0 to 0"

Then try this:

  edi at miles:/tmp$ perl -le 'print "Match" if "xxx" =~ /l*/'
  Match
  edi at miles:/tmp$ perl -le 'print "Match: #$1#" if "xxx" =~ /(l*)/'
  Match: ##
