Hi,

First let me apologize for having posted the previous message to the antik mailing list instead of the gsll list.

To sum up, I am trying to install gsll using quicklisp and I run into an error, as reported below. This seems to be related to cffi-grovel, yet I am sure it has been installed.

$ ls ~/.quicklisp/dists/quicklisp/software/cffi_0.10.6/grovel/asdf.lisp common.h grovel.lisp invoke.lisp package.lisp

I am on debian squeeze, using sbcl from the repos. I have installed the following packages related to gsl libgsl0-dev, libgsl0ldbl, libffi-dev, gsl-doc-info, gsl-ref-html

Thanks for your help,

Harven
