- First; uninstall (purge) Ubuntu version of cl-cffi. <br>- Then make a folder like $HOME/lisp-repo in your homedirectory.<br>- Then search for the ".sbcl" folder in your home. If there is not any; create one and a sub folder named "systems".<br>
- Then cd to $HOME/lisp-repo and pull the latest cffi on the darcs repo with the following command:<br> $ darcs get <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/darcs/cffi/">http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/darcs/cffi/</a><br>
- 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:<br> $ for i in *.asd; do `ln -s $PWD/$i -t ~/.sbcl/systems; done<br>
<br>Now open Emacs and when you start slime and required gsll it should work. If it does not; go to <a href="http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/manual/html_node/Installation.html">http://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/manual/html_node/Installation.html</a> 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.<br>

You need a recent version of CFFI (more recent than Debian's packaged<br>
versions), and then need to recompile.<br>
<br>
Works nicely once you get to that stage.<br>
