I am able to compile from the CVS on a windows XP box without any problems.
I guess it must be something with windows.

Ya cygwin is the way to go !! thanks.

Now that I have a compiled ECL 12.7.1, I configure it with the latest slime
 and emacs. But I get a continuous error: SWANK:wait-for-input and the
debug trace goes on increasing.

Also, could you guys please give an indication or put up a tutorial
somewhere as to how to make slime work in the best way with ecl ?
