[cells-devel] Celtk2 installation

[John Landahl]

So I'd like to try out the new! improved! Celtk2 under Linux/SBCL, but
I'm having some installation problems.  First I found that I had a
really old version of CFFI (thanks, Ubuntu!).  After installing the
latest CFFI tarball, I still get the following error:

* (require :celtk)

 Any hints on where to go next?
