SBCL Lisp kernel keeps restarting (Looping)

[athena007]

Hello

I am running sbcl 1.3.14 together with slime and everything works fine in emacs. I also run jupyter 4.1.0 with a few kernels. which are working fine.

I am hoping to utilized the jupyter notebooks interface for my class but i am getting a kernel loop or restart anytime i launch the SBCL lisp. Below is the error. Assistance will be very much appreciated to resolve this issue.

I just resolved this issue. Indeed it was an issue related to 32bit / 64 bit conflict of pzmq.
I needed to update my quicklisp dist pkg.
If your are running sbcl then launch from terminal and run the following

1. (load "~/quicklisp/setup.lisp")
2. (ql:update-all-dists)

This is indeed related to issues with pzmq as discussed in the following link
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34093656/jupyter-and-common-lisp
Updating the pkgs resolves the incompatibility.

I now have the following warning:

[Recv]: issue with UTF-8 decoding
WARNING: [Shell] message type 'comm_open' not (yet ?) supported, skipping...

Any clues as to their impact and resolution will be very much appreciated.

cheers

The zmq dependency of jupyter is a little bit painful, but thanks to the reactivity
of the pzmq guys things end up by working, apparently...

The "issue with UTF-8 decoding" things is still quite obscure for me, but does not seem to be a big problem. I have used cl-jupyter for long sessions without much difficulty, and the .ipynb file is generally quite hard to corrupt.

For the moment cl-jupyter does not support the comm messages because I have yet to understand their purpose... I will look into that ASAP.

on macOs, This issue still happens, even after following @athena007 advice. with ccl, the jupyter notebook still keep restart after create a new notebook.

os: 10.13.3
CCL: Version 1.11-r16635 (DarwinX8632)
Python: Python 3.6.1

by following the quicklisp installation, and then update all dist.

[fredokun]

please check the new version in master, I think this particularly annoying bug is fixed (or at least addressed)

[fredokun]

I have yet to try with ccl on a mac computer, which I do not own...

I'm not sure if this is the same problem but I get this (and the kernel keeps trying to restart but never starts):
