The documentation contained in the tarballs does not reflect the content of 
the tarballs.  Specifically, there are not bin directories in neither of 
7.7.1 nor 7.7.90.  Guile seems to be working for now.  Common Lisp was not 
conforming to the textbook I'm reading.  The book, by MIT authors, is using 
scheme.  I had forgotten about Guile until after I sent the original post.
