I have successfully built and run Clim-Desktop under Linux with a recent CMUCL version (Snapshot 2005-11 (19C)), and McCLIM CVS sources updated a few days ago, with the following changes:

- Be sure to get recent CVS sources of the packages on which Clim-Desktop depends, particularly cl-irc whose ASDF-INSTALLable package is not up to date.

- In file receivers.lisp of beirc, add 2 missing closing parentheses at the end of the definition of function initialize-receiver-with-pane.

- In file debugger.lisp of Clim-Desktop, set in the load form the path for loading McCLIM's debugger on your system. Also, change #+cmucl to #+cmu.

- In file misc.lisp of Clim-Desktop, set *hyperspec-base-url* to the path of the HyperSpec on your system.

- In file test.lisp of Clim-Desktop, change all unqualified calls to set-key to esa:set-key.

- Finally, in climacs.lisp change the #+cmucl conditionalization to #+cmu.

Note that I have tested Clim-Desktop only lightly, and that the latest head McCLIM CVS sources are known to be broken with CMUCL.
