I was very excited to hear that GINA is now available in the public
domain. I am currently involved in developing a CLOS application and I
am looking for an easy object-oriented UI development environment to use
in my application. I'll be very grateful if someone can help me in the
following:
 
1. I have spent the past three weeks trying to compile Clue.7-20 and
Clio on my machine. It is finally up and running. Since I went thru a
lot of suffering, I hate to go throught this again. I am workin on a DEC
5000 machine with Lucid Common Lisp 4.0 (and Lucid CLOS). I have the
motif toolkit and widgets but have never used them. Does this look like
an environment on which I would not have major problems installing CLM
and GINA? Are there any recommendations? Also, does GINA have better
functionality than clio?
 
2. I actually tried to start working on installing CLM yesterday nigth.
When I tried to 'make' in the server file. I got an error message that
there is apparently something wrong in my Xm.h file. The message reads
as follows:
 
;;;  typedef XtPointer       (*XmResourceBaseProc)();
;;;      function return value is wrong
 
Since this was the first time for me to use motif, I gave up and quit (I
do not have enough experience in X to let me dig in and try to find what
is wrong). I only use the motif window manager (although I do not really
get the top level menu of the manager, instaed I get a session manager.
I gessued this is set up like this on the DEC 5000 machines. I might be
wrong)
 
3. I could not print out the postscript documentation of GINA (although
I could for CLM). Do I need to use any special swiches to print them out?
 
I appologize if my questions are trivial. Thank you for any help.
 
Thank you
