Hello, I'm new to cffi and Lisp in general. I've been having a lot of trouble getting cffi to work with passing structs using libffi. I fussed with it for weeks and decided to wait until I upgraded Debian to jessie to see if that helped. Now I can't even load cffi-libffi. :(
Failed to find the TRUENAME of /usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-cffi/libffi/init.lisp: No such file or directory
Before that there are a bunch of warnings like this:
compiling #<STATIC-FILE "alexandria" "LICENCE"> completed without its input file #P"/usr/share/common-lisp/source/alexandria/LICENCE"
The code:
#!/usr/bin/sbcl --script
(require "asdf")
(asdf:load-system :cffi) (asdf:load-system :cffi-libffi)
This could just be a missing package, but I have everything I can think of. I searched the Debian respository for /usr/share/common-lisp/source/cl-cffi/libffi/init.lisp and none of them provide it. Here are my package versions:
sbcl 2:1.2.4-2 cl-cffi 1:0.14.0-1 cl-asdf 2:3.1.4-1 libffi6 3.1-2+b2 libffi-dev 3.1-2+b2
Can anyone help me solve this?

I don't use Debian but I assume it comes with cl-lib packages (which maybe outdated).
I'd try it with quicklisp (which is something like a cl software distribution system). That way you have updated versions of many many libs at your fingertip. Just google for it. It is very easy to install.

Looks like cl-cffi wasn't packaged properly and doesn't include libffi.

This shouldn't prevent things from working, but indicates debian needs a more recent version of alexandria.

In general, debian cl packages are not very well maintained. You might have better luck with quicklisp — you may want to deinstall non-working debian packages so they don't shadow quicklisp's working ones.
