[elephant-devel] Problems installing elephant on gentoo linux/CMUCL

[Ben]

what version of CMUCL are you using?  what patches?  because it looks
like recently CMUCL and SBCL received patches to their MOP
implementations, which seem to have affected elephant.  note we're
working on upgrading elephant at the moment, we hope to have a new
testable version soon.  (CMUCL / Linux is definitely a target -- I use
CMUCL / FreeBSD myself.)

MOP is a fuzzy area in most implementations.....a moving target!

take care, B
