I guess the problem is that the standard include path does not include 
/usr/X11/include. It is odd, but it is so in OS X. Maybe a hint in the 
README would suffice.

As I said

Indeed, and this was the only source of problems. The rest seems just fine.

The problem is that FriCAS does not finish building and the SBCL image does 
not even boot properly. BTW, answering Xiaojun's question, I am using a more 
recent version of SBCL, 1.0.45, shipped with Fink for 64bits.

I would like to know what happens with the ECL build and why it does not 
work. Is it possible to set up a similar handler somewhere in the boot 
scripts forcing FriCAS to enter the lisp debugger or something like that?

If time permits I will skim the internet for some scripts to automate this.
