plot/vglt can't be found about plot HOT 23 CLOSED

There isn't a vglt package any longer. It's vega. Try (ql:quickload :plot/vega) and see how you go. Having said that, the fact that something is looking for plot/vglt suggests that you might have the old version somewhere.

from plot.

Is this working for you now?

from plot.

I deleted the "plot" package in "~/quicklisp/local-projects/" and re-cloned the package into this folder, ran (ql:quickload :plot) just fine and then when running (ql:quickload :plot/vega) I get:

COMPILE-FILE-ERROR while

Also, sorry for the late response. I appreciate you following up.

from plot.

Ah, this issue is a known problem with SBCL. See Lisp-Stat/lisp-stat#14. The solution is a one-liner:

( cd ~/common-lisp/ && wget https://asdf.common-lisp.dev/archives/asdf-3.3.5.tar.gz  && tar -xvf asdf-3.3.5.tar.gz && mv asdf-3.3.5 asdf )

from plot.

Had to change the one liner to:

cd ~/quicklisp/local-projects/ && wget https://asdf.common-lisp.dev/archives/asdf-3.3.5.tar.gz && tar -xvf asdf-3.3.5.tar.gz && mv asdf-3.3.5 asdf

and then run (asdf:load-system :plot/vega). Or in other words, not (ql:quicklisp :plot/vega)

and now I have this:

The value of UIOP/PACKAGE::FROM-PACKAGE is NIL, which is not of type PACKAGE.

I have also not done anything in terms of acquiring vega. I suppose I need to install that somewhere first?

from plot.

Vega will be downloaded automatically by the browser. Nothing to install there.

from plot.

Try using quicklisp the first time around to get all the dependencies: (ql:quickload :plot/vega).

from plot.

When I boot up the computer and immediately open the repl and run (ql:quicklisp :plot/vega) with the same error:

Should I delete the effects of the one liner, delete the plot package, and start all over at this point?

from plot.

Not yet. Can you load other packages? For example alexandria?

from plot.

Yep! (ql:quickload :alexandria) runs fine.

OK, we'll have to investigate then. Leave the upgraded ASDF in place, as we know that's required. Let's check the version with asdf::*asdf-version*, and please post the contents of pkgdcl.lisp. If you haven't changed anything in plot, leave it alone.

from plot.

CL-USER> asdf::asdf-version
"3.3.5"

from plot.

The local variables list in pkgdcl.lisp
contains values that may not be safe (*).

Do you want to apply it? You can type
y -- to apply the local variables list.
n -- to ignore the local variables list.
! -- to apply the local variables list, and permanently mark these
values (*) as safe (in the future, they will be set automatically.)

Haven't seen this one before trying to open an file in emacs..

where is this pkgdcl.lisp? I see one in /src/vega, /src/plot/, and /src/text/.. I assume Vega?

from plot.

The file is in PLOT:SRC;vega;pkgdcl.lisp

from plot.

There isn't a vglt package any longer. It's vega. Try (ql:quickload :plot/vega) and see how you go. Having said that, the fact that something is looking for plot/vglt suggests that you might have the old version somewhere.

The README still has a reference to vglt. https://github.com/Lisp-Stat/plot/blob/master/README.md?plain=1#L114

from plot.

README fixed, thanks.

@pierceglenn12345, can we close this issue? Are you still experiencing problems?

from plot.

I've got the local-nicknames problem with a stock installation of SBCL 2.2.8.29 and the 2022-07-08, pulling lisp-stat and plot from the repos. Using the one liner helped, but leads to a new problem, for which I will file a new issue. Sure would be nice if this worked out of the box. Any chance of getting SBCL's ASDF updated or not using UIOP's local-nicknames syntax?

from plot.

Sigh. The intention is that this should work 'out of the box', but SBCL's reticence to upgrade ASDF means this may not be possible. I'm going to post on the SBCL developer list asking about upgrading ASDF. If you can chime in with some support, perhaps that will help. If they're not helpful, I'll back-out the PLN. It's just a couple of lines, but frustrating because I've been removing nicknames from some of the packages to try and do things the 'right' way (with PLN).

from plot.

Yeah, I'd like to see an upgrade to ASDF in SBCL. Not sure why stassats is so against it, but, then again, he's likely to be the one to feel any pain of doing so.

from plot.

I think the best option is going to be to not use PLN. It's a few lines of code to change. I'll put it on my queue of things to do, but my day-job is keeping me rather busy at the moment, so it might be a while. @pierceglenn12345, are things working for you?

from plot.

I've just committed a change to remove package local nicknames to close this issue. @pierceglenn12345, please open a new issue if you have further problems.
