cannot install slime +clisp, because of architecture mismatch

[fu7mu4 (fu7mu4)]

On SnowLeopard x86_64, I cannot install slime after clisp installed. How do I use clisp on slime ?

my command is "sudo port install slime +clisp"

port system says following lines:

--->  Computing dependencies for slime
Error: Cannot install slime for the arch(s) 'x86_64' because
Error: its dependency clisp only supports the arch(s) 'ppc i386'.
Error: Unable to execute port: architecture mismatch

Please remember to fill in the Port field and cc the maintainer.

The Lisp implementation variants ('+clisp', '+sbcl', '+abcl', etc.) for SLIME are more a convenience than a necessity as SLIME has no build or "real" runtime dependencies on the Lisp implementation. "Real" meaning that SLIME merely needs an inferior Lisp to be superior to at runtime.

My recommendation would be just to install SLIME without a variant. You should be able to use it just fine with clisp after installing both separately.

thanks for your replay, I could install it without variants

If it doesn't actually care what the archs are then you can use depends_skip_archcheck. Come to think of it, is slime noarch?

Ping. Can you comment on the above question and suggestion, or do you want to close this as wontfix?

sorry to be late for reply.

Please close this.

Fixed in r93297 by adding noarch.
