One way to check if your message went through is to check the mailing list archive at <https://mailman.common-lisp.net/pipermail/cffi-devel/>. (It's not repeated. :-))
(cffi:load-foreign-library "/usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.12.16_1/lib/libcairo.dylib")
This seems indeed to load the dylib, but later my system calls (CFFI::LOAD-FOREIGN-LIBRARY-PATH :LIBCAIRO "libcairo.dylib" NIL) which apparently does not realise :LIBCAIRO is already loaded, so it tries to load cairo again but from /usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.14.6_1/lib/libcairo.2.dylib
Perhaps <https://common-lisp.net/project/cffi/manual/html_node/_002aforeign_002dlibrary_002ddirectories_002a.html> may help? Push #p"/usr/local/Cellar/cairo/1.12.16_1/lib/" onto that variable. Cheers, -- Luís Oliveira http://kerno.org/~luis/
