loading clojure-contrib - import

I'm new to the whole JVM thing, and trying to play with clojure. I'm attempting to load clojure-contrib and failing:
# in bash
$ java -cp /path/to/clojure.jar:/path/to/contrib.jar clojure.main
# in REPL
user=> (require 'clojure.contrib.math)
nil
user=> (sqrt 2)
java.lang.Exception: Unable to resolve symbol: sqrt in this context (NO_SOURCE_FILE:10)
Any pointers will be great - thanks.

I'm no expert, but it seemed like a namespace issue. The solution I employed was this:
;; for REPL
user=> (ns user (:use clojure.contrib.math))
nil
user=> (sqrt 2)
1.4142135623730951

You should put refer after require which will map all the symbols into current namespace
(require 'clojure.contrib.math)
(refer 'clojure.contrib.math)
(sqrt 2)
(expt 2 3)

Run `create-react-app` from within Common Lisp

Assuming that a local system has create-react-app installed (npm i -g create-react-app), I want to run it with parameters from within a Common Lisp file. What's the best way to do this?
as far as i know, the potrable solution is uiop:run-program, since your cl distribution probably has the asdf included.
CL-USER> (uiop:run-program "create-react-app" :output t :error-output t)
;;Please specify the project directory:
;; create-react-app <project-directory>
;;For example:
;; create-react-app my-react-app
;;Run create-react-app --help to see all options.
;;; Debugger entered on #<UIOP/RUN-PROGRAM:SUBPROCESS-ERROR {10018B83A3}>
this one reports error, as the create-react-app itself does for no args.
(uiop:run-program "create-react-app my-new-shiny-app" :output t :error-output t)
succeeds, and creates app in your cwd.
you can wrap it into a function like this, for example:
(defun create-react-app (app-path &key verbose info scripts-version template use-npm use-pnp typescript)
(let ((cmd (format nil "create-react-app ~a ~
~#[--verbose~*~] ~
~#[--info~*~] ~
~#[--scripts-version ~a~] ~
~#[--template ~a~] ~
~#[--use-npm~*~] ~
~#[--use-pnp~*~] ~
~#[--typescript~*~]"
app-path verbose info scripts-version template use-npm use-pnp typescript)))
(format t "executing shell command: ~a~%" cmd)
(uiop:run-program cmd :output t :error-output t)))
(create-react-app "my-new-shiny-app" :template "cra-template-quickstart-redux" :use-npm t)
havent thoroughly tested it, but it should work.

How do I correctly (import (srfi :42)) in Chez scheme?

(System: centos 7, 64 bits)
I am attempting to import srfi-42 into my program. This is the
first srfi in Chez Scheme for me.
The srfi lib is at:
/home/cecilm/play/ChezScheme/chez-srfi/srfi
I added this dir to my .emacs :
(setenv "CHEZSCHEMELIBDIRS"
(concat
"." ":"
(getenv "$HOME") /play/ChezScheme/chez-srfi" ":"
(getenv "PATH")))
In emacs, geiser starts chez. emacs seems to know about this dir:
> (library-directories)
(("/home/cecilm/play/ChezScheme/chez-srfi"
.
"/home/cecilm/play/ChezScheme/chez-srfi"))
The repl seems to import srfi-42:
> (import (srfi :42))
> (list-ec (: i 5) (* i i))
Exception: attempt to reference out-of-context identifier error
I thought "i" was a problem, so I defined "i" in a let:
> (let ((i 0)) (list-ec (: i 5) (* i i)))
Exception: attempt to reference out-of-context identifier error
What do I need to do to actually use an import? This is the first time
I have used any imports in Chez Scheme.
Does "list-ec" need a qualifier?
I obtained the srfi's from git Is this a "standard"?
Is there a more "official" repo for Chez scheme?

How should I configure Vulkan for cider-jack-in?

I'm working through the newly released Vulkan Tutorial in Clojure with CIDER, and I've hit a bit of a snag. The example makefile project works perfectly, but I'm having trouble translating it into Clojure.
My build.boot file just specifies the :source-paths and adds LWJGL as a dependency:
(set-env!
:source-paths #{"src"}
:dependencies
(let [lwjgl-version "3.0.0"]
[['org.lwjgl/lwjgl lwjgl-version]
['org.lwjgl/lwjgl-platform lwjgl-version :classifier "natives-linux"]]))
Then, in src/example/core.clj, I have an extension-count function that uses vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties as demonstrated in the original example:
(ns example.core
(:import (org.lwjgl.vulkan VK10)))
(defn extension-count []
(let [^String layer-name nil
property-count (int-array 1)]
(VK10/vkEnumerateInstanceExtensionProperties layer-name property-count nil)
(first property-count)))
Now, from Bash, I can set the relevant environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH and VK_LAYER_PATH as I start up a REPL:
$ VULKAN_SDK_PATH=~/VulkanSDK/1.0.21.1/x86_64 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$VULKAN_SDK_PATH/lib VK_LAYER_PATH=$VULKAN_SDK_PATH/etc/explicit_layer.d boot repl
boot.user=> (require '[example.core :refer [extension-count]])
nil
boot.user=> (extension-count)
4
As you can see, everything works correctly. But of course, when I use cider-jack-in by C-c M-j instead, I get an UnsatisfiedLinkError because CIDER isn't setting those variables:
boot.user> (import (java.util.function Consumer)
(org.lwjgl.system Configuration))
org.lwjgl.system.Configuration
boot.user> (Configuration/setDebugStreamConsumer
(reify Consumer
(accept [_ message]
(println message))))
nil
boot.user> (require '[example.core :refer [extension-count]])
nil
boot.user> (extension-count)
[LWJGL] Failed to load a library. Possible solutions:
a) Set -Djava.library.path or -Dorg.lwjgl.librarypath to the directory that contains the shared libraries.
b) Add the JAR(s) containing the shared libraries to the classpath.
[LWJGL] Enable debug mode with -Dorg.lwjgl.util.Debug=true for better diagnostics.
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Failed to locate library: libvulkan.so.1
Am I supposed to be setting java.library.path or org.lwjgl.librarypath, as suggested in the above error message, instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH? I can set either of those variables from profile.boot:
(System/setProperty
"java.library.path"
(str (System/getProperty "user.home") "/VulkanSDK/1.0.21.1/x86_64/lib"))
Now when I try C-c M-j again, it works:
boot.user> (require '[example.core :refer [extension-count]])
nil
boot.user> (extension-count)
4
However, this still doesn't let me set VK_LAYER_PATH, which will be fairly important in the future:
We will start using validation layers in Vulkan and you need to tell the Vulkan library where to load these from using the VK_LAYER_PATH variable:
test: VulkanTest
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(VULKAN_SDK_PATH)/lib VK_LAYER_PATH=$(VULKAN_SDK_PATH)/etc/explicit_layer.d ./VulkanTest
How can I set these environment variables for cider-jack-in? I'd prefer not to have to manually configure CIDER's dependencies for a standalone repl in a separate terminal and then connect to it using cider-connect, but if there's no other option here, I guess that's what I'll have to do.

Clojure server-socket ClassNotFoundException error

I'm trying to test mire.
When I execute this code
(ns mire
(:use [clojure.contrib server-socket duck-streams]))
I have java.io.FileNotFoundException error.
Googling to find that clojure.contrib is deprecated, I added server-socket as dependencies in the project.clj, and executed leon repl to install the jar libraries
mire> lein repl
Retrieving server-socket/server-socket/1.0.0/server-socket-1.0.0.pom from clojars
Retrieving server-socket/server-socket/1.0.0/server-socket-1.0.0.jar from clojar
Then in the emacs/cider, I tried to use this code to get the same FileNotFoundException error.
(ns mire
(:use [server.socket server-socket duck-streams]))
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not locate server/socket/server_socket__init.class or
server/socket/server_socket.clj on class path: 
In command line REPL, (use [server.socket server-socket]) gives me the same error message.
What might be wrong? I use emacs/cider/nREPL. This is the project.clj.
(defproject mire "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
:description "FIXME: write description"
:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.5.1"]
[server-socket "1.0.0"]])
This is the code that causes an error:
(ns mire
(:use [clojure.contrib server-socket duck-streams]))
(def port (* 3 1111))
(defn mire-handle-client [in out]
(binding [*in* (reader in)
*out* (writer out)]
(loop []
(println (read-line))
(recur))))
(def server (create-server port mire-handle-client))
From the code in Building an Echo Server in Clojure - Part 2, this is the working code with server.socket.
(ns mire
(:use server.socket))
(import '[java.io BufferedReader InputStreamReader OutputStreamWriter])
(def port (* 3 1111))
(defn mire-handle-client [in out]
(binding [*in* (BufferedReader. (InputStreamReader. in))
*out* (OutputStreamWriter. out)]
(loop []
(println (read-line))
(recur))))
(def server (create-server port mire-handle-client))
The namespaces are usually dot-separated. server.socket in this library is.
Try this:
(ns mire (:use [server.socket]))

cl-pdf output error

I'm trying to use cl-pdf for some fairly basic PDF generation, but I'm getting tripped up at the examples (which is embarassing to say the least).
When I run the first example included in the package
(defun example1 (&optional (file #P"/tmp/ex1.pdf"))
(pdf:with-document ()
(pdf:with-page ()
(pdf:with-outline-level ("Example" (pdf:register-page-reference))
(let ((helvetica (pdf:get-font "Helvetica")))
(pdf:in-text-mode
(pdf:set-font helvetica 36.0)
(pdf:move-text 100 800)
(pdf:draw-text "cl-pdf: Example 1"))
(pdf:translate 230 500)
(loop repeat 150
for i = 0.67 then (* i 1.045)
do (pdf:in-text-mode
(pdf:set-font helvetica i)
(pdf:set-rgb-fill (/ (random 255) 255.0)
(/ (random 255) 255.0)
(/ (random 255) 255.0))
(pdf:move-text (* i 3) 0)
(pdf:show-text "cl-typesetting"))
(pdf:rotate 13)))))
(pdf:write-document file)))
by running (example1 #P"/home/inaimathi/Desktop/ex1.pdf") it gives me this error
#<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "file /home/inaimathi/Desktop/test.pdf"
{CF9D931}> is not a binary output stream.
[Condition of type SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR]
Restarts:
0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.
The same thing happens when I call (example1), or when I do
(with-open-file
(test-file #P"/home/inaimathi/Desktop/ex1.pdf"
:direction :output :if-does-not-exist :create)
(example1 test-file))
Finally, if I try
(with-open-file
(test-file #P"/home/inaimathi/Desktop/ex1.pdf"
:direction :output :if-does-not-exist :create
:element-type '(unsigned-byte 8))
(example1 test-file))
I get the error
#<SB-SYS:FD-STREAM for "file /home/inaimathi/Desktop/test.pdf"
{D197C99}> is not a character output stream.
[Condition of type SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR]
Restarts:
0: [ABORT] Exit debugger, returning to top level.
Is there a way to declare a binary character stream? How do I get simple output out of cl-pdf? I'm using SBCL straight out of the debian repos (which is 1.0.29, I think), in case it matters.
(setf pdf:*compress-streams* nil) should help. It's trying to write binary data to a character stream, and while that works on LispWorks and some other systems, it doesn't work everywhere and particularly not on SBCL.
EDIT 2: asdf-install is unmaintained and deprecated. It is best to use Quicklisp. To install Quicklisp, you'll need to download it:
$ curl -O https://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp
Then add cl-pdf to your lisp installation:
$ sbcl --load quicklisp.lisp
* (quicklisp-quickstart:install)
* (ql:quickload "vecto")
* (ql:add-to-init-file)
* (exit)
Now all you need to do is add
(load "~/quicklisp/setup.lisp") ; if it installed in the default location
to your .lisp file, and you can then add
(ql:quickload "cl-pdf")
EDIT: This is what I ended up doing. The solution by xach above would also work.
In the end I had to wget http://www.fractalconcept.com/download/cl-pdf-current.tgz and install that.
For the newbs (since I remember how frustrating it is for someone new to Common Lisp to hear "just do a checkout and install it"):
1.Do the checkout as above (I assume you've done this in your home directory from now on)
2.Type in tar xvzf cl-pdf-current.tgz (the point is to get a tarball of the folder. You can do this through the GUI too, it makes no difference)
3.Hop into your SBCL prompt and enter
(require 'asdf)
(require 'asdf-install)
4.If you already installed cl-pdf using (asdf-install:install 'cl-pdf), then you'll need to enter (asdf-install:uninstall 'cl-pdf)
5.Type (asdf-install:install "/home/[your home folder name]/cl-pdf-current.tgz")
I got one compilation error throughout this process, which I just selected [Accept] for. It still seems to work fine.
Hopefully the upcoming release of quicklisp will reduce the need for this sort of package hunting.
