LispWorks cannot open in OS X El Capitan


The app icon just keeps bouncing for a few minutes after I click it, and then stop and nothing is show. The app then becomes “Not Responding.”

According to the document, I should be asked to select GUI options, but that didn't happen during the installation process.

I think it has to do with GUI. So I installed/updated X11, but it's still not working even after that.

I'm using the LispWorks 6.1.1 Personal Edition.


Solution

  • I contacted Lispworks' support team. It turned out it's because my mac name has a non-ASICC char ' (it was XXX's Macbook Pro). Changing the computer's name using sudo scutil --set HostName name-you want fixed the issue.
