[Matlisp-users] SBCL Problems (odd number of &KEY arguments)

[Ryan A. <rp...@ca...>]

I've been trying to get Matlisp working with SBCL 0.9.1.28 on Debian.  I
have checked out the latest version of Matlisp from CVS, and I have
replaced the defsystem.lisp in that source with the latest version from
the CLOCC CVS repository.  I've also changed the 'LOAD-1-FOREIGN' to
'LOAD-SHARED-OBJECT' in lazy-loader.lisp.in.  I've put a diff of this
here: 

http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/rpa23/misc/sbcl-matlisp.rpa23.diff

I start the REPL in SLIME, and run (load "/home ... /start.lisp"), it
runs to completion, finishing with the message about using (HELP
MATLISP) and (use-package "MATLISP"), but when I actually try to do
either of these things, I get errors.

When I run:

CL-USER> (use-package "MATLISP")
debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-PROGRAM-ERROR in thread 17646: odd
number of &KEY arguments

CL-USER> (help MATLISP)

; in: LAMBDA NIL
;     (HELP MATLISP)
; 
; caught STYLE-WARNING:

; 
; compilation unit finished
;   caught 2 WARNING conditions
;   caught 2 STYLE-WARNING conditions

debugger invoked on a SB-INT:SIMPLE-PROGRAM-ERROR in thread 17646: odd

Can anyone give me any advice as to where to start resolving this?  I am
a Lisp noob, so it may be something simple.

Thanks in advance...

Ryan
