Elephant itself works without multi-threading, and my application doesn't
particularly need multi-threading, so this is acceptable for me.

So I'm using win + Lispworks + ele 0.9. However backends using a dll, like

What exactly do you mean by "not able to install"?

I've been able to get Windows + SBCL + the newest elephant-unstable to work
with the bdb backend (single-threaded), although I haven't tried any of the
other backends, or with multiple threads.

What I am mainly trying to fix right now is automatic compilation of the dll
files under SBCL. (See my previous email for details.)
