SLIME not finding Clozure or Hyperspec docs

I just fresh-installed Emacs + SLIME + CCL on Ubuntu following the steps described in clozure.com and everything seems to work fine. However apropos prints this output when asked for a particular keyword:

MAKE-ARRAY
  Function: (not documented)
CCL::COMP-MAKE-ARRAY-1
  Function: (not documented)
CCL::MAKE-ARRAY-1
  Function: (not documented)
CCL::MAKE-ARRAY-CTYPE
  Function: (not documented)

And when asking for the hyperspec of a selected region, a small console pops up with the message "can't execvp lynx: no such file or directory".

How to solve either of these issues?

Solution

  • can't execvp lynx: no such file or directory

    install lynx or change default browser in prefered applications. As variant:

    (setq browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-generic)
(setq browse-url-generic-program "your browser, i.e. google-chrome")

    However apropos prints this output when asked for a particular keyword

    may be symbols just haven't documentation string(I'm sbcl user and not now about ccl)?

    asking for the hyperspec 

    (setq common-lisp-hyperspec-root "path to HyperSpec directory")
