The “Artful” Mysql module for newLisp does not connect to MySQL

Question

I am trying out the Artful Mysql module with newLisp and the "smoke" test using the examples does not connect to MySQL.

Assumptions:

1. I am a newbie Lisp programmer.
2. Platform is MacOS X 10.9
3. newLisp 10.6
4. MySQL 5.5
5. The newLisp 10.6 standard distribution of the MySQL module works with MySQL 5.5, the Artful one does not.

(module "mysql.lsp") MAIN

(setf db (Mysql)) (Mysql 4336914432)

(:connect db "localhost" "RetransDjango" "pwd" "retransdjango") ERR: list expected in function : : "localhost" called from user defined function Mysql:connect

Answer 1

That module hasn't been updated to accommodate changes in newLISP syntax introduced in version 10.2. You probably need to use the self function...
