Thanks Andreas, those changes allow me to load mcclim with less pain :o)
With the patch below, I can load mcclim and run the calculator demo with this command:
clisp -K full -q -x "(export 'xlib::set-selection-owner 'xlib) (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :mcclim) (asdf:operate 'asdf:load-op :clim-examples) (clim-demo::calculator)"
I don't get any obvious errors (lots of compiler warnings and style warnings, which I can supply if it would help), but the resulting demo window still doesn't look like much is happening (I attached an image of the window in case that helps). FWIW, there's no CPU activity, so I don't suspect it's doing anything at all.
Any idea what's going on?
