Running inferior lisp

After installing emacs and attempting to run-lisp, I get

Searching for program: No such file or directory, lisp

Then, after trying to run lisp again, a new inferior-lisp buffer opens, but if I try entering anything in, I get:

Output file descriptor of inferior-lisp<1> is closed

Any idea what I should do?

You should set inferior-lisp-program variable. Be careful 'cos some Lisps expect the core to be specified in the command-line or reside in a current directory (especially if you're on Windows).

If you're a newbie and just want to get familiar with lisp there is a built-in Elisp interpreter. Run M-x ielm to get it.

From the info page on emacs (31.11 Running an External Lisp):

To run an inferior Lisp process, type M-x run-lisp'. This runs the program namedlisp', the same program you would run by typing lisp' as a shell command, with both input and output going through an Emacs buffer namedlisp'.

It look like you do not have an program in your path that is call "lisp".
