This reminds me of a problem I had[1]. Actually, I think it's the same problem, because if memory serves compiles hung at the same point for me. If you're using emacs+slime, check the *inferior-lisp* buffer; if you've been thrown into SBCL's LDB debugger, and I suspect you have, that's where it'll be. You wouldn't happen to be using a threaded SBCL (:sb-thread in *features*), would you? sb-threads and libpthread.so don't play well together for me, and I'm guessing they aren't playing nicely for you, either. I think Ian was going to look into the cause of that, but I don't know if he's had a chance yet. The two options I can think of are: 1. Switch to an unthreaded SBCL 2. Disable loading of libpthreads in src/db-bdb/sleepycat.lisp Both have worked for me (cvs elephant and BDB4.4), but I have yet to do anything particularly taxing with elephant, so maybe it'll blow up later. <g> -pinterface [1] http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/elephant-devel/2006-September/000527.html Though for some reason I provided almost no useful information to hunting down the cause. Whoops. _______________________________________________ elephant-devel site list elephant-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/elephant-devel
