I don't use Debian but I assume it comes with cl-lib packages (which maybe outdated).
I'd try it with quicklisp (which is something like a cl software distribution system). That way you have updated versions of many many libs at your fingertip. Just google for it. It is very easy to install. On Wed, 2015-04-29 at 13:51 -0700, Marshall Mason wrote: > Hello, > I'm new to cffi and Lisp in general.
