[Openmcl-devel] Problems with installing CCL on Ubuntu

[Bill St. Clair]

You can't just rename lx86cl.image to lx86cl. The former is an lisp heap
image file. The latter is a linux executable. Your rebuild of the kernel
should have created a fresh lx86cl. If not, do "svn revert lx86cl" to get
back the one from Clozure's server, which should work.
