I haven't found it that easy.

My package manager installs version 1.4. I downloaded the version 2.0 package from the website, and ran the "install.sh" script per the Getting Started instructions for installing a binary. When I tried running it I got the following error:

/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.28' not found (required by /usr/local/bin/sbcl)

I couldn't find a "make.sh" file in the package that I downloaded, and I'm not enough of an expert to solve the GLIBC version error problem.




make.sh is included in the source release [0]. Download that, not the binary release. The binary release is only needed for either bootstrapping or for a compatible binary installation. (Evidently your glibc isn’t compatible with the binary release; building from source should be as easy as I suggest above.)

Once you install it, you can uninstall your system-provided SBCL.

Thank you. That worked perfectly for me.
