Thanks for the help Rick and James! Turns out that I had moved & renamed my Clisp folder and the batch file was looking for the old location. When I deleted the batch file and re-ran Common Music from plain old Clisp a new batch file was created and now when I run Common Music from Xemacs it launches fine.
<br><br>One question though... I am still getting an error about "gnu-plot". Is there a way to force clisp/commonmusic to just skip that part of the load?<br><br>This is the error I get:<br>; Loading "bin\\clisp_2.41_windows-i686\\gnuplot.fas"
