Yes, I changed it to:
(defvar *elephant-lib-path* "/Users/main/Apps/asdf/elephant-0.5.0/")


Hmm, looking at the ASDF output when it loads Elephant, it has 60 lines
complaining of style-warnings, like:

----
; loading system definition from
; /Users/main/Apps/asdf/elephant-0.5.0/elephant.asd into #<PACKAGE
"ASDF4686">
; registering #<SYSTEM ELEPHANT {10E56939}> as ELEPHANT
STYLE-WARNING: Undefined alien: "linux_no_threads_p"
STYLE-WARNING: Undefined alien: "db_env_cr"
STYLE-WARNING: Undefined alien: "db_env_close"
... more STYLE-WARNINGs...
---

(Incidentally, I have XCode 2.1 installed; XCode 2.2 was recently
released...)

Unfortunately, I get the same error when I do that. (Fortunately, make's
willing to make the .so file, with only a few complaints...)
