I ran into a similar problem after installing sbcl from DarwinPorts
(MacPorts), which placed it in /opt/local/bin which is first on PATH
when you have MacPorts installed, and then built sbcl from cvs, which by
default installs into /usr/local/bin. As a result when I typed 'sbcl' on
the command line I got the older version that was in /opt/local/bin.

Typing /usr/local/bin/sbcl on the command line produced the expected result.

Do you have sbcl 1.0.21 installed someplace other than /usr/local/bin
that comes before /usr/local/bin in your path?

Did you remember to run install.sh as root after you built sbcl?
