Hi there, I was having similar problems with SBCL 1.0.21. My workaround is outlined in the thread "Issues adding to root". Basically it seems like you need to add the "cffi-uffi-compat" packages and *not* cffi or uffi.
This maybe an SBCL-only solution, so I hope this works you. -deech On Sun, Nov 9, 2008 at 1:23 AM, GP lisper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > in elephant 0.9 with cmucl snapshot from September 08, I find: > > CL-USER> (load "library:subsystems/berkeley-db") > T > CL-USER> (require :elephant) > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/elephant-0.9/elephant.asd". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/cl-base64-3.3.2/cl-base64.asd". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/uffi-1.5.15/uffi.asd". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/uffi-1.5.15/src/package.x86f". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/uffi-1.5.15/src/primitives.x86f". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/uffi-1.5.15/src/objects.x86f". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/uffi-1.5.15/src/aggregates.x86f". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/uffi-1.5.15/src/functions.x86f". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/uffi-1.5.15/src/strings.x86f". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/uffi-1.5.15/src/libraries.x86f". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/uffi-1.5.15/src/os.x86f". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/cl-base64-3.3.2/package.x86f". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/cl-base64-3.3.2/encode.x86f". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/cl-base64-3.3.2/decode.x86f". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/elephant-0.9/src/utils/package.x86f". > ; Loading > #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/elephant-0.9/src/utils/convenience.x86f". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/elephant-0.9/src/utils/locks.x86f". > ; Loading #P"CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/elephant-0.9/src/utils/os.x86f". > Attempting to load libmemutil.so... > ; Compiling: > CMUCL-19e-SEP-08/subsystems/elephant-0.9/src/memutil/memutil.lisp 28 APR 07 > 07:10:55 pm > ... > ; Compiling DEFUN RETURN-BUFFER-STREAM: > ; Converted WITH-BUFFER-STREAMS. > ; Compiling DEFMACRO WITH-BUFFER-STREAMS: > > > Error in function ALIEN::%PARSE-ALIEN-TYPE: Unknown alien type: UNSIGNED-CHAR > > > I'm not familiar enough with Alien to track this down.
