[Gsll-devel] gsll compilation with sbcl 1.0.30

[Simon Holgate]

Hello,

this is my first post to the list. I've tried the archives but not found 
an answer. Apologies if this has come up before.

I've successfully installed gsll previously under SBCL, with a 
system-wide SBCL install, and everything worked just fine.

On my current system I've had to install everything under my local user 
directory and SBCL (1.0.30) has been installed there too, compiled from 
source.

I've installed all the dependencies but I get a problem on compilation. 
I've pasted all the output below.

The issue seems to be with CFFI-GROVEL and I guess that it can't find 
libgsl. That is also installed locally under $HOME/lib and is exported 
in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Is there some other way to point to libgsl or have I got the wrong end 
of the stick?

BTW when first compiling I also got an error (which isn't replicated 
below) about not being able to find "gsl_version" and something to do 
with a missing "ALIEN-..."?

The host system is SUSE (SLED 10).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Simon

Output from SBCL was:

("ASDF")
