Luis,

Doing a (cffi:load gives:

EVAL: variable LIBGSL has no value
   [Condition of type SYSTEM::SIMPLE-UNBOUND-VARIABLE]

(I am doing this in emacs+slime)

I tried (type-of libgsl) at the top level and got the same message.

But doing (cffi:use-...) still gives the same message (unable to load).

gsl comes with documentation.  I am trying to build its simple example
in c using the shareable dll to verify that it is working.  It will
take me a bit to get that right (I'm not fluent in c)

Thanks,

Mirko
