Hi,

well I've managed to fix the problem by deleting init.fasl and directly editing init.lisp to point directly to the locally installed libgsl and libgslcblas.

All is working just lovely now.

Cheers,

Simon

Hello,

this is my first post to the list. I've tried the archives but not found an answer. Apologies if this has come up before.

I've successfully installed gsll previously under SBCL, with a system-wide SBCL install, and everything worked just fine.

On my current system I've had to install everything under my local user directory and SBCL (1.0.30) has been installed there too, compiled from source.

I've installed all the dependencies but I get a problem on compilation. I've pasted all the output below.

The issue seems to be with CFFI-GROVEL and I guess that it can't find libgsl. That is also installed locally under $HOME/lib and is exported in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Is there some other way to point to libgsl or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

BTW when first compiling I also got an error (which isn't replicated below) about not being able to find "gsl_version" and something to do with a missing "ALIEN-..."?

The host system is SUSE (SLED 10).

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Simon
