Ah!

I see from the transcript that you are on CMUCL/Sparc, which is not a
supported platform of USQL.  However, I think it would not take much
effort to make it operational, provided that you are at least
marginally familiar with FFI, or unafraid of learning about it.

The problem stems from the file usql:dbms;postgresql;glue-cmucl.lisp
file which does not properly define the with-lock macro for CMUCL on
sparc, which does not have the underlying mp::with-lock-held macro
that it is trying to expand into, hence the failure.  You could change
the conditional compiles such that it defines with-lock as it would
for a non cmucl system when it is on cmucl/sparc.

Then there may be a need to deal with any FFI portability issues
across the hardware platforms, but I really don't know if there are
going to be any.

Unfortunately, I do not have a Sparc/Solaris box at this time, so I
cannot directly perform the port.

In the future, you may want to use the usql mailing list, see
