Hi,

I am trying Mariano's approach below, and run into a problem while loading McClim.
It looks like the package XLIB cannot be found, while loading the image package.
Does anyone have an idea of how to proceed?

Thanks for your help,
Bruce


...

At this point anerror occurs:

Package "XLIB" not found. [file position = 2914]
   [Condition of type READER-ERROR]

Restarts:
 0: [NIL] retry the compilation of /Users/bseely/site-lisp/dists/quicklisp/software/mcclim-20120520-cvs/Backends/CLX/image.lisp

 2: [RETRY] Retry compiling #<CL-SOURCE-FILE "clim-clx" "Backends/CLX" "image">.
 3: [ACCEPT] Continue, treating compiling #<CL-SOURCE-FILE "clim-clx" "Backends/CLX" "image"> as having been successful.
 4: [ABORT] Give up on "mcclim"
 5: [RETRY] Retry SLIME REPL evaluation request.

I'm not certain this is the way to fix it, but it seems  you don't have the clx package installed. So, in your case, I would try:

(ql:quickload :clx)

and then:
(ql:quickload :mcclim)

Cheers,

Mariano
