Hum, I got also this with the new-clx module. It's for this I run it
with the mit-clx module. But Shawn Betts (the stumpwm author) has
commited some bugfix to run stumpwm with new-clx.

Do you have libffcall1-dev installed?

I have had this error on a Debian too. But I havn't had enough time to
see where it come from.

In all cases, I think the Debian clisp comes with new-clx which was a
bit buggy with version < 2.44. I havn't tried with new-clx-2.44.

Another thing, clear all .fas and .lib files when you switch from one
clisp version to another.


For some test and if you are not too limited in ram, you can test
clfswm with sbcl. You need to install cl-clx-sbcl.
And then load.lisp as usual or:

--------------------------------------------------
(require :sb-posix)
(require :clx)
(require :clfswm)
(in-package :clfswm)
(main ":0")
--------------------------------------------------


Good luck,

Philippe
