One issue that's often responsible for missing MRS output is ECL's 
apparent lack of proper package support:
ppcre/convert.lisp clashes with rmrs/convert.lisp.
You may want to check you have renamed rmrs/convert.lisp to, e.g.,  
rmrs/rmrs-convert.lisp  and  that this change is reflected in mrs.system.

Can we have one of the convert.lisp files renamed in the LKB tree as a 
workaround?
