Presumable related to the fact that ECL kept pausing to issue promts such as that below (with the side affect that compilation becomes /very/ slow; I don't yet know how to avoid this issue -- can anyone help?): ;;; Finished compiling /media/hda8/bmw20/lkb/src/lkb-package.lsp. ; - Binary file /media/hda8/bmw20/lkb/src/.lecl/lkb-package.fas is old or does not exist. ; Compile (and load) source file /media/hda8/bmw20/lkb/src/lkb-package.lsp instead?

The new ecl-initialize-libbuild explicitely switches off compilation of the files into .fas files by setting (setf mk::*load-source-if-no-binary* t) It works here, and compiles the library faster than before. Maybe you should delete the old .fas files, if there are any. </pre> </blockquote> Deleting the .fas files did the trick. Thanks, - Ben </body> </html>
