Yes, I do essentially the same.
Rodrigo> 2. first problem: config does not seem to work!
Probably because no one has mentioned any problems because no one uses
config?

A package lock problem. I can probably fix this.

I'll look into it.

That function doesn't exist anymore. I think you need a newer version
of ilisp. Or you might like to try SLIME
(http://www.cliki.net/SLIME).

Sorry, can't help with this because there's not enough info to figure
out anything.
