The problem is almost certainly with SBCL_HOME: if the environment variable is not set, SBCL defaults to the location of the core -- which is wrong with your custom core. You need to either set if to where-ever Debian installs the core and contribs by default. You can find this out by calling (getenv "SBCL_HOME") after starting SBCL in the terminal:
unset SBCL_HOME sbcl --no-userinit This is SBCL 1.0.14.39.hax, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp. More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.
SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty. It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are provided under BSD-style licenses. See the CREDITS and COPYING files in the distribution for more information. * (posix-getenv "SBCL_HOME") "/usr/local/lib/sbcl" (Yours is something else, probably.) Cheers, -- Nikodemus
