Loom question...

Sorry to send out a Loom query to the PowerLoom list, but
I am not sure where to send the Loom queries anymore and
perhaps someone out there knows the answer anyway, or
at least can forward this mail further in the right direction.

Problem: I am trying to compile and use Loom with GNU CLISP
version (2.31).

Compilation fails with a no applicable method message during
setting up the  network in coda.lisp.

I attach below the trace of that part of the compilation, but am
not sure what kind of further information might be useful. I started
with Loom 4.0, and then backed off to Loom 2.1 in the hope that
perhaps an older simpler version might not mess up. But pretty
much the same error occured.

Any pointers? Anyone already compiled a version of Loom with
GNU Clisp. (btw: with Loom 4.0 I also had to provide a version
of clos:set-definition-name in order to get anywhere: I hacked
it as follows:

#+clisp
(defun CLOS::slot-definition-name (slot)
  (cond ((arrayp slot) (aref slot 0))
        ((consp slot)  (first slot))
        (t (error "CLOS definition name: bail out"))))

).

Thanks in advance,
John Bateman.
