[Gsll-devel] cffi-grovel

[ozgur]

- First; uninstall (purge) Ubuntu version of cl-cffi.
- Then make a folder like $HOME/lisp-repo in your homedirectory.
- Then search for the  ".sbcl" folder in your home. If there is not any;
create one and a sub folder named "systems".
- Then cd to $HOME/lisp-repo and pull the latest cffi on the darcs repo with
the following command:
  $ darcs get http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/darcs/cffi/
- And lastly cd to $HOME/lisp-repo/cffi and  issue the following command
that make symbolic links of each *.asd file residing current directory in
the folder $HOME/.sbcl/systems:
  $ for i in *.asd; do `ln -s $PWD/$i -t ~/.sbcl/systems; done

Now open Emacs and when you start slime and required gsll it should work. If
it does not; go to
http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/manual/html_node/Installation.html where
cffi's dependencies are explained (i.e. Alexandira, Babel and
trivial-features). Go download them and make the same things above for them
also and try again.
