Thanks! I didn't know about this, and this would have been my preferred choice. Unfortunately, my distribution's SBCL is not built with support for linkable runtime. Oh well.

If you add that directory within .cache where libosicat.so lives to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or similar) before compiling your application, CFFI might be able to load the library by name and this might solve your problem.

This worked. Thank you very much.
