since you mention debian sarge i'd like to remind you that debian
often has very old versions installed. i'd suggest checking and, if
needed, upgrading cmucl. this may not change much now but will save
you much grief and confusion later on, and you'll get enough grief and
confusion as it is already...

you could also look at kmr's cl-modlisp library
(http://cl-modlisp.b9.com/) if this one doesn't work out. 

good luck!
