I have 12.2.1 from Mac Ports.

Looks like there might be some packaging problem in how MacPorts
ships/installs ECL:



test-module-depend:
....
;;; Loading
"/Users/rpg/lisp/asdf/tmp/fasls/ecl-12.2.1-unknown-macosx-x86/test/file3.fas"
LOAD: Could not load file
#P"/Users/rpg/lisp/asdf/tmp/fasls/ecl-12.2.1-unknown-macosx-x86/test/file3.fas"
(Error:
"dlopen(/Users/rpg/lisp/asdf/tmp/fasls/ecl-12.2.1-unknown-macosx-x86/test/file3.fas,

  Referenced from:
/Users/rpg/lisp/asdf/tmp/fasls/ecl-12.2.1-unknown-macosx-x86/test/file3.fas

No reason obvious to me that loading test/file3.lisp should cause ECL to
want to load libffi....

Yes, this seems like a packaging/dependency error.  I don't have
libffi.5.dylib --- I have libffi.6.dylib.

When I ask port what ecl depends on, it says "nothing," so presumably
there's an error, and it should specify a dependency on libffi.

Juanjo, do you have any contact with the MacPorts people?  I'm not sure
how to report this as a bug....

thanks,
