How To Install gcl on Fedora 34

gcl is GNU Common Lisp

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install gcl on Fedora 34.

What is gcl

GCL is a Common Lisp currently compliant with the ANSI standard. Lisp compilation produces native code through the intermediary of the system’s C compiler, from which GCL derives efficient performance and facile portability. Currently uses TCL/Tk as GUI.

We can use yum or dnf to install gcl on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install gcl.

Install gcl on Fedora 34 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64        1.4 kB/s | 989  B     00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64                       68 kB/s | 6.5 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates                    3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB     00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
