I get this error:
arithmetic error FLOATING-POINT-INVALID-OPERATION signalled [Condition of type FLOATING-POINT-INVALID-OPERATION]
I've seen this happen in the glX libraries before. As I understand what's happening, SBCL enables floating point traps that are not normally enabled in C programs, and this can mess things up when calling foreign code. What I used to get around this was:
;;; Execute BODY with floating-point traps disabled. This seems to be ;;; necessary on (at least) Linux/x86-64 where SIGFPEs are signalled ;;; when creating making a GLX context active. #+sbcl (defmacro without-fp-traps (&body body) `(sb-int:with-float-traps-masked (:invalid :divide-by-zero) ,@body))
;;; Do nothing on Lisps that don't need traps disabled. #-sbcl (defmacro without-fp-traps (&body body) `(progn ,@body))
and a WITHOUT-FP-TRAPS form around the offending foreign function calls. I'm not enough of a floating-point wizard to know why you'd be getting that particular trap though...
