[developers] Possibly malformed RMRSs from RASP conversion

[Andrew MacKinlay]

The Heart of Gold download seems to have a fairly old LKB snapshot:

amack at dip(32021.rasprmrs) ~/tools/rasp2/rasp-rmrs-converter$ more  
src.orig/version.lsp
(in-package :lkb)
(defparameter *cvs-version* "$Date: 2008/02/08 16:16:08 $")

Switch the 'src' directory over to a newer LKB snapshot (is that what  
you meant? Or is there something else I should be doing?), the  
references to non-existent anchors still occur.
This is the same with the separately downloaded version that I had  
("$Date: 2009-04-27 07:23:53") and the latest SVN release (r6874).


I thought I'd try the recompilation option. Tim has managed to track  
down an ACL licence, but recompiling the standalone RASP-RMRS  
converter failed with:

;   Loading /home/amack/delphin/lkb-svn/src/rmrs/rasp3/standalone- 
server.lsp
Error (from DEBUG): Attempt to take the value of the unbound variable  
`FROM'.
Evaluation stack:

    (EXCL::INTERNAL-INVOKE-DEBUGGER)
    (ERROR)
    (EXCL::UNBOUND-VARIABLE-HANDLER)
    (EXCL::GENERAL-ERROR-HANDLER)
    (SYS::..CONTEXT-SAVING-RUNTIME-OPERATION)
    (EXCL::%EVAL)
  ->(EVAL)

(more output in the attachment)

I'm unfortunately fairly clueless on Lisp matters, so I've got no idea  
of the cause of this. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Andy
