[elephant-devel] cmucl problems in memutil.lisp

[aditya siram]

Hi there,
I was having similar problems with SBCL 1.0.21. My workaround is
outlined in the thread "Issues adding to root". Basically it seems
like you need to add the "cffi-uffi-compat" packages and *not* cffi or
uffi.

This maybe an SBCL-only solution, so I hope this works you.
