[elephant-devel] Error while compiling memutil.lisp

[Ian Eslick]

CMUCL is an un-officially supported lisp for Elephant.  You are the  
first user who has indicated you were using it since I started working  
on the project two years ago!

I'd recommend using SBCL.

If you want to spend a little time debugging this, look in src/memutil/ 
memutil.lisp for the UFFI type definitions for the various FFI  
functions to manage memory.  It may be that it doesn't recognize  
unsigned-char vs. the keyword version :unsigned-char?
