[clisp-list] clisp, defsystem and UncommonSQL

[Saul H. <sa...@sp...>]

Hello,
  I am a perl programmer who is learning lisp. I am using clisp on debian (woody) and am enjoying the language so far and am blown away by topend (what a great way to develop functions). I also like the simplicity of clisp and the interaction with my chosen editor (vim). I have written a few simple functions but want to get on to doing something more useful.

I want to connect to mysql using the UncommonSQL system and have installed this without any trouble (thanks to the lisp-controller package that debian uses). However, I hit problems when I try to use this system. For instance (when running as root to compile up the system) ...

*** - DEFGENERIC DATABASE-LIST-TABLES: No initializations are allowed in a generic function lambda-list: (DATABASE &KEY (SYSTEM-TABLES NIL))

My question is, am I doing something foolish or is there a problem with UncommonSQL when used with clisp? Thanks for any help (and have a successful New Year).
