LOAD-FOREIGN does not search the standard library paths. The reason for this behaviour is that if the file exists but is not a shared library (for instance a normal .o file), CMUCL will ask the linker to load it. I will try to clarify the documentation in this respect. Perhaps LOAD-FOREIGN would be more useful if it worked as you expect. I fear that changing it would make the diagnostics available on error less useful than they currently are, since dlerror() does not work very well in my experience (on Linux). -- Eric Marsden <URL:http://www.laas.fr/~emarsden/>
