Problems installing cl-http

hi, i was hoping someone here would be willing to help me get cl-http 
running. i am using cmucl-18c on freebsd-4.5rc. i got the latest 
release of cl-http from 
ftp://ftp.ai.mit.edu/pub/users/jcma/cl-http/sources.tar.gz.

i then tried the quick start instructions. i couldnt get to 
http://wilson.ai.mit.edu/cl-http/sources/cmucl/read-me.text
so i skipped step 2.1. i did 2.2 and 2.3. for step 2.4 i renamed the dir that
the sources untarred to to cl-http. i skipped 2.5. in cl-http i started lisp
and loaded cmucl/start. it then failed with

[...lots of stuff snipped...]
