thanks a lot ! i have a more recent log4cl version at home, and i define on this version +colors+ like this : (unless (boundp +colors+) (defconstant +colors+ '(("debug" . "#339933") ("info" . "#000000") ("warning" . "#993300") ("error" . "#993300") ("fatal" . "#993300")))) Matthew Kennedy <mkennedy@gentoo.org> writes:

The attached patch fixes the problem described here:

It depends on a new component: "cl-plus" which is often used for resolving this specific problem in Debian and Gentoo. cl-plus can be found here:
