[mcclim-devel] McClim up and running

[Christopher Johnson]

Yahoo!  Thanks to your notes, I was able to get McClim up and running on my
system.
I'm running SBCL 1.0.10 on an Intel iMac with OSX 10.4.

The install runs more smoothly if you install flexichains and clx before
trying mcclim.

Thank you!

Chris
