I think it never occurred to us that the instructions on how to compile a shared library should be on the tutorial. I suppose it assumes you already have a shared library to start with. Where do you think that should be made more clear? > I cut+pasted segments of it into ccl version 1.9-r15972M (LinuxX8664) > only to have it break in two places: > section 4.7 when trying to call (set-curl-option-nosignal *easy-handle* > 1) WITHOUT having executed the 2 progn's in that section (mistakenly > assuming that the function was built automatically) only to be told > that there was no such function.

Notice the preceding paragraph. That code is merely illustrative. See the "Returning to the current set-curl-option-url interface, here is what we must do..." bits that follow.
