AllegroCL, Setiathome, alien.ssl.berkley.edu - Please helpI really hope that I'm in the right forum for this. I am having some trouble getting a few things working. First: When I use the 'synaptic package manager', it gets to a point where it asks me to tell it where the directory for AllegroCL is located... There is a directory named Allegro, on this path, urs/lib/allegro/4.1... but it won't take that... it says, "There is not a valid copy of AllegroCL in the directory that you have entered." ... I used konquer and also the folders are there, there are no files in them... Second: When I use the 'synaptic package manager', it gets to a point where it tries to resolve and ip for alien.ssl.berkley.edu (128.32.18.176) port 21 (ftp)... however, it just hangs there... I don't how to fix that... does anyone know how to resolve this issue??? Bookmark/Search this post with:

let's check your apt sources
let's check your apt sources list:
/etc/apt/sources.list
and post it here. that way we'll know if you do have apt properly set up to read contrib.
Also, try finding the package acl-installer in synaptic, that's the one you want to install allegrocl. AllegroCL is not OSS, that's why it's in the contrib section, there are many different options for Lisp (that's what you're trying to do?) that are OSS, here is a page you'll probably find helpful
apt - sources.list
This is what is in it...
#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r1 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-2 (20051218)]/ unstable contrib main
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r1 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-1 (20051218)]/ unstable contrib main
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib

Unless you don't have an
Unless you don't have an internet connection, you have a problem. Right now you can only install packages from CD, to add debian repository mirrors you must do the following:
deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r1 _Sarge_ - Official i386 Binary-2 (20051218)]/ unstable contrib mainsubstitute the part in bold and italics with a mirror near you.
The primary mirrors are easiest to set-up
for example, the official US mirror would look something like this:
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable contrib mainyou may want to change that line there that says unstable to testing, as sid breaks from time to time, less now than before, but it still does.
After you got rid of both entries for the cdrom, click on refresh packages from synaptic or do a:
#apt-get updateto see if it worked.
hope all goes well.
