I can help with testing on OSX sbcl and openmcl. At first, I would  
like to concentrate on the bdb backend. I haven't actually been using  
elephant for a while, so I will start with a fresh installation and  
tell you what happens.

I will take the cvs version and db44 is that correct?
(sbcl and openmcl 32bit on osx 10.4 db44 installed via fink)

I will also tell you exactly what I need to comment/uncomment in the  
makefile or somewhere else - it would be wonderful, if this wasn't  
necessary at all, just taking the tarball and it works, even on a mac  
- if this cannot be reduced to zero, maybe it would be a good idea to  
put up some comments on the website categorized by the various  
platforms.

Isn't there an attempt underway to get rid of the makefile entirely?
(sorry, haven't really been following recent developments, as I  
should...)

Greetings,
