[elephant-devel] 0.6.1 / OpenMCL / BDB

[lists at infoway.net]

I did (push :macosx *features*) as well as (push :darwin *features*) and in both instances, it failed to load the .so library. I guess somehow, UFFI still doesn't recognize it to use .dylib (and .dylib was not generated either).

Very strange. Is there another way of "pushing" stuff into *features* that I'm not aware of?

Thanks,
Daniel
