[elephant-devel] Installing on MacOS X, SBCL

[Ian Eslick]

Have you tried the patch I suggested and reverted to building .dylibs? 
This really seems to indicate that the libraries were not loaded.  There
may be another warning somewhere that a given library wasn't found or of
the three libraries a missing message saying it was loaded.  If you can
identify which library wasn't loaded it will be easier to track down
your problem.
