[elephant-ticket] elephant\src\utils\os.lisp #+sbcl (require :sb-posix)

[mitch_net at hotmail.com]

Hi,

While testing my software on both debian and fedora, I've found that elephant was not usable with the fedora-8's sbcl package.
In fact, elephant\src\utils\os.lisp was missing a (require :sb-posix) in order to load.

So I've just added a
    #+sbcl (require :sb-posix)
 before my
    (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :elephant)
and it worked.

But I'm you would prefer to include #+sbcl (require :sb-posix) at some better place inside the elephant package.

Hope it helps...

Michel
