NLISP

NLISP is a Mathematics extension for Common Lisp to provide an environment for numerical computation and visualisation. It is an alternative to packages like IDL and Matlab. NLISP defines array syntax operators and array intrinsic functions, plotting via gnuplot, sound file I/O via libsndfile, and a partial interface to the Gnu Scientific Library. NLISP can produce xy, image and surface plots. Array operators and intrinsic functions are given for fixnum (long integer), double float and complex double float types. NLISP also provides array indexing to access and and operate on sub arrays.

NLISP is GPL and the source is available at the NLISP homepage. NLISP is maintained by David Wallis and Leigh M. Smith.

Why does the install documentation for nlisp say to find and compile bin-gnuplot.c, and yet this file appears not to exist in the downloaded distribution?

Also, why are all the symbols in nlisp: undefined on common-lisp-user? In order to do anything at all in nlisp, I have to explicitly include the nlisp package name, as in:

(nlisp:.iseq 0 12)
