that's what I get !

And the very bad thing : all my tests where done in the command line or 
by loading source files. When I try to compile, I get that :
 > (compile-file "simple")
;;; Loading #P"/usr/local/lib/ecl/cmp.fas"

;;; Freeing library /usr/local/lib/ecl/cmp.fas
LOAD: Could not load file #P"/usr/local/lib/ecl/cmp.fas" (Error: "")
Broken at LAMBDA.

;;; Loading #P"simple.lisp"
#P"simple.lisp"

The simple.lisp file is :
(defun ff (n)
   (if (< n 1)
       1
       (* n (ff (- n 1)))))


I look at the compilation problem and after I will look at the thread 
problem.

I make no mistake when I say that all the compiler stuff is in src/cmp ?


A bientôt,

Bernard.
