[portage-overlay-devel] I broke cmucl

[Hans Halvorson]

PS to previous message: I unmerged and re-emerged cmucl (thinking that
this would get rid of stale files from 19c.)  Here is the output of
(require :clx).

Loaded subsystems:
    Python 1.1, target Intel x86
    CLOS based on Gerd's PCL 2004/04/14 03:32:47
* (require :clx)


Error in function REQUIRE:  Don't know how to load CLX
   [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]

Restarts:
  0: [ABORT] Return to Top-Level.

Debug  (type H for help)

(REQUIRE :CLX NIL)
Source: Error finding source: 
Error in function DEBUG::GET-FILE-TOP-LEVEL-FORM:  Source file no longer exists:
  target:code/module.lisp.
